    This is a lesson for beginner acoustic players. Here I show you how to play a song in the Memphis Blues style. We will play the bass in a simple way, we follow the structure I, IV, V on the E chord. I hope you like it and enjoy it. Memphis blues is a style of blues music created during the 1920s and 1930s by musicians from Memphis, Tennessee, such as Frank Stokes, Sleepy John Estes, Furry Lewis, and Memphis Minnie. Some believe that Memphis blues was the style that defined the separation of roles of rhythm guitar and lead guitar; This separation ended up becoming the standard of rock and roll and popular music.
