Roy Bookbinder, Mary Flower and the late, great Woody Mann. Look into them when you can.

All the answers are good.. But this is absolutely essential.
You may have to 'cull' through a lot of styles to find your choice, but they stream free and you can focus on any or style of the Blues. Listening is highly recommended, if not essential. Why do I say this? To play the blues, it is not just 'bluezy' notes; it comes from a place deep in your self. By listening to the age-old greats you begin to 'hear' it 'feel' it; The listening is so important as the Feel, the Sound, begins to seep into you. Blues is simple, but runs deep. Some of the best musicians in the world can't play Blues.. Blues speaks from the soul. IN your address bar: Type streaming Blues or streaming Blues. There are several streams from old Charlie Patton, to modern rock blues. You decide what you are drawn to. Use the links to compare. AThens is very good usually, accuradio. Blues - Listen to Free Radio Stations - AccuRadio Hope this helps. |

Same thing when I went down to the Crossroads. No signal there either, and this annoying weird-looking guy kept coming up wanting to buy my soul. Told him to p--- off.

+++ on Stefan Grossmann and Tom Feldman's lessons available through his site.
There's also the Blues Guitar Institute (bluesguitarinstitute.com) where free membership will already give you access to plenty free lessons already. Have a listen to the countless videos of/by Doug Macleod on YouTube; to me he is a true embodiement of the bluesmen of old who doesn't just play the blues but who also knows how because he understands its meaning. He's made 1 course (he was planning to do another before the corona circus happened), "Doug's 101 Blues Essentials", available through MusicGurus. If you want some additional theoretical knowledge you can probably best go and find a relevant MOOC class (e.g. on coursera.org).

If you're interested in electric blues, then I recommend Corey Congelio's site -- workingclassguitar.com. It's the most structured site I've seen. It's not one of those sites that is just a collection a loosely organized YouTube videos. It's an actual educational site that attempts to move a student from point A to point B to point C, and so on. It builds very nicely.
