Bright Lights, Big City > Intro and Basic Rhythm Breakdown

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with new sheet music, re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Corey: 

In this first lesson on this classic tune by Jimmy Reed we will focus on learning the intro and the basic rhythm to get started. If you listen to the original you may notice that it is in the key of A (Jimmy Reed used a capo and played in E position). The version I play here is in E but you are welcome to capo it to any key that works for you. I have tried to adapt the song here to a solo acoustic style, even though the original is with a full band. Of course, this is a great tune to play with harmonica, either on a rack like Jimmy Reed or with a friend.

I hope that you enjoy this one.

Corey
