Special Rider Blues > Vocal Riff and V Chord 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 second lesson I review some of the essential licks from lesson one. I also discuss how to start with a basic riff and add some embellishments that are not in the original. I started doing these extra riffs after sending time playing with Ali Farka Toure. He liked Skip James music very much and the first time he heard it he said he thought it came from Mali. Anyway, please pay close attention to he parts where I slow down the riff.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks.

Corey
