In today's blues guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Give Me One Reason" by Tracy Chapman. This is a song that is incredibly helpful for learning the blues, including the 12-bar blues, in a more pop and modern style. Besides the fingerstyle acoustic guitar arrangement, we also go over many of the electric blues guitar lead fills throughout the song as well as the tasteful guitar solo.
