i'm also thoroughly into blues music, so no shredding planned here, as much as i appreciate it for both the entertainment and difficulty.

but if i'm committing some obvious mental mistakes that would hamper progress at some point later, i'd like to head that off now, i know i've changed a lot of things around over the last 2 years getting shit right(er) and now is the time. what are some of the mistakes you've noticed that i need to be aware of?
