For this week's lesson we will focus on how to play the basic riffs of the song. Pay attention to your rhythm and tempo and make sure that you take your time with this blues classic. I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Corey, I live down here in the new river valley south of roanoke Virginia. I'm looking for an acoustic guitarist and singer that would like to collaborate with me. I play electric bass and harmonica and six strong. I would like to play some blues and especially presuming blues like that of John d.holeman. any ideas on who I can contact?
