You COULD change your tuning to Open G and play it like him...but ain't nobody got time for that! We're learning it in Standard tuning. Full playthrough up to the beginning of Mick Taylor's guitar solo...Intro to the lesson begins at 4:25 and lesson itself at 5:20. Hope y'all enjoy this one-leave me some comments down below! Playing my '58 Custom Shop Les Paul through a '59 Tweed Princeton with a Seaverb Reverb pedal.
From "That Little Ol' Band From Texas"-One of the baddest rock guitar riffs of all time, 'Just Got Paid' is off of ZZ Top's 1972 album 'Rio Grande Mud'. Originally played in open E tuning with a slide solo, here I'm showing you how to easily play it in standard tuning. I also show you a beginner and intermediate-friendly way of playing the main riff, as well as the more advanced version that Billy Gibbons is using. Standard tuning solo ideas and solo rhythm guitar are also included.
From the 1970 "Morrison Hotel" album, this song was recorded in 1969 at Elektra Studios in LA by The Doors and has been covered countless times since. I only recently discovered that the legendary Blues/Rock guitarist LONNIE MACK is playing bass on this song. He was working for Elektra at the time and the Doors' bassist was not in the studio the when this was cut. Very cool! Also, John Sebastian from the "Lovin' Spoonful" is playing harmonica on this track. A very recognizable bluesy riff played by Robby Krieger with a great solo.
Stevie Plays Jimmie!!! The opening track on the 1990 "Family Style" album by Jimmie and Stevie Vaughan...totally cool, clean solo and a great uptempo Texas Rock and Roll. Production on this album by Nile Rodgers is outta sight! I'm still jamming it 30+ years later! Definitely check it out in it's entirety if you haven't before. Hope you enjoy learning this great tune!
"After Midnight" is a rock song by J. J. Cale, first released in 1966. Eric Clapton later covered it for his first solo album, released in 1970. Clapton's rendition became a success, prompting Cale to re-record the song for Cale's 1971 album "Naturally". "After Midnight" has been considered one of Clapton's signature songs throughout his career.
I hope everybody enjoys this super short 'n sweet lesson on the intro to Stevie Ray Vaughan's studio version of "Texas Flood".
The KING of Kings, Albert! Join me as I teach you how to play Crosscut Saw note-for-note plus general tips for playing like and sounding like Albert King:) I share some legendary Albert King stories as well.
I hope everybody enjoys this super short 'n sweet lesson on the intro licks to Albert King's classic, "Blues Power". All Hail King Albert!
I love this track off of the first T-Birds album, "Girls Go Wild" released in 1979. Cool baseline riff that Jimmie doubles up on, and the solo is outta sight! It has that great "Rumba" rhythm.
One of the classic tracks off of Cream's "Disraeli Gears" album released in 1967. The song is a very old blues originally written and recorded by singer Blind Joe Reynolds in 1929. Now a blues-rock standard, it has been recorded numerous times by artists such as Rick Derringer, The Yardbirds, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Backdoor Slam. Other cool versions to check out are Cream's "Live on The BBC" recording and Doyle Bramhall II's version from Crossroads 2010. I'm teaching my interpretation of Clapton's original rhythm guitar parts, as well as the album version of the lead solo note-for-note. Happy Jammin' to ya!
