Thanks Duke

Hi Steve, You should relax the tempo a bit but the second hit is more of an anticipated feel against the relaxed groove. Good start, try watching me do it again and listen for the anticipation every other stroke. Duke

Hi Duke,

  Love working on this type of blues. I need more of these grooves in my vocabulary.

Thanks,

So many ways guys and gals play this riff.  I like to play the lick in measure 1. Also do a octave root variant.

Ex 1

$6.8 $5.5 $5.7 $6.8 $6.5

or Ex 1a  (with octve)

$6.8 $5.5 $5.7 $6.8 $4.7

Most seem to play the following :  Ex 2

$4.7 $3.7.$2.7 $4.7 $3.5.$2.5 $4.7

Always seem to get a look if I play it the Muddy way (lick 1 above)  and not the double stop lick (Ex 2)

Especially from harmonica players....  Just sayin...

Super cool axe Duke.

$5.14 $4.12 /16 /16 $4.14 $4.12 $5.14 | $4.12^ $5.14 $6.12 $5.13 $5.14



I think there is a slight error in measures 7 and 8. Also later in the second vrese.

Hi Duke,

  Making these videos just keep putting more tools in the toolbox. I used the V walkup, the IV bent chord, and the country Jimmy Reed style riff during my gig last night. A guest vocalist got up and we did a slow-medium shuffle so I decided to use these licks. My bass player heard the bouncing rhythym lines and jumped all over it.

  Still got to some work on the Lockwood lick. Its not quite natural yet.

Thanks Duke

Hi Steve, very good start on it. The lick you're refering to will come a lot easier if you keep doing it. It's a very useful lick in blues in E once you get used to it it will become second nature. good work! Duke

I love this tune!  Still have a lot of work on the vocals. But thumb is starting to work most of the time...

Hey Corey,

  I've been trying to get more fingerpicken' into my blues. Here's a go on my old Daion.

Still working on the lyrics but that always takes longer and need a solid foundation first.  I've got weak thumb technique but these lessons will hopefully help.

Thanks,

Steve

Thanks Duke. I'm just double checking since sometimes its a struggle getting on the same page as the drummer. Bass players are easier... :)

Hey Duke,

  Is the "Omm Ba Omm Ba Omm Ba" piano shuffle similiar to the "flat tire" shuffle groove? That's what they call it in the blues circles down here in Texas. The sound of a tire that's gone flat and all the rubber is on one side. Boom flap boom flap boom flap etc...

Thanks,

Steve

Hi Steve, Yes I guess you call that the guitar equivelent to the flat tire groove. Duke
