Finally we will discuss singing the song and how to effectively bring it to an end. When singing always stay true to your particular melody. Remember that blues singing relies on strong melodic statements that are only slightly changed. Don't stray too much from the essence of the song, while at the same time put a little bit yourself into your performance. Similarly, endings are best kept simple and to the point. Remember that this is blues and the whole point is to communicate to your audience. So keep it simple!
