Playing the Blues!
#6
I've always found the best way to pick stuff up is actually to listen to it being played and try and work out what they're doing, or just go and learn some songs from the genre and try and find the similarities. Then I go and look up the actual; theory .

I find that having played some of the stuff before hand and having at least a notion of what it should be like helps me pick stuff up faster.

Go and check out some of the classic blues artists like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. If you're after a more blues rock thing then Joe Bonamassa, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton are good places to start.
