Hello Friends,
This we start on the solo for Driftin' Blues. Johnny Moore's solo is one of the most perfect pieces of music in blues of the 1940s. His use of ninths in the solo and his mellow jazzy phrasing are still fresh sounding 70 years later!
This is a fun one folks.....
Enjoy,
Duke

Great job as usual Bruce! keep up the great work......Duke
Thank you, Duke. That really means a lot to me.
Hi Duke! Hey, thanks so much for the kind words on the last video.
I'm having a lot of fun learning the fills. They are so beautiful and so subtle. I've been listening to Charles Brown for over 40 years and never appreciated that gorgeous guitar work until I sat down and tried to play it. Johnny Moore was amazing. It's a shame he refused to give Charles his due credit on the records, but you can't knock the guys' genius.
So here's an attempt at the first half of the solo mostly following your transcription. It's certainly a lot easier having your example to follow! :-) Thanks for the great lesson, looking forward to next week.
