Hi Friends,
This week we are learning the 2 chorus solo for "All Your Love" which is one of the greatest solos in blues guitar. As Monster Mike states, the vibrato is nearly as important as the notes played and it's not easy to do that wide and consistent vibrato so you have your work cut out for you! It's a great solo packed with wild emotional excitement and I can't think of a better player to teach it than Mike.
Enjoy!
Duke

This one is a super challenge for my chops! I haven't really got a good vibrato yet, so this is quite a reach. I couldn't get the hang of the "falling vibrato", so I decided to cheat and use the whammy bar. :-)
The timing of the riffs is so tricky too! But it's been a lot of fun to work on.
Oh -- and in this measure, I think that pull-off from 16 to 12 is meant to be 16 to 14.
Thanks Bruce! Fixed.
Here are a couple more corrections to make in the tab.
The third note is on the B string, not the E string as shown in the tab.
Two bars after the one above. The fifth note is on the 16th fret, not the 17th fret as shown in the tab.
Thanks Bruce! Fixed.
Hi Mike, Happy Father's Day. Here's how I spent mine :-D
This is a recording of me doing rhythm, intro and both solos. I put the rhythm on the left channel, and the intro/solos on the right. You'll notice that I slowed down the pace to 100bpm and dropped some of the "flurries" in the second solo. I am trying to keep the spirit and obvious signature licks.
I am mainly concentrating on playing the correct notes at the correct times. It was an eye opener to me that many of the licks end on beat one of a measure and anticipate a chord change. Playing with the background track was very helpful to me (thanks Mike C)
Thanks for the great lesson
P
And here's the recording (thanks Mike C)
Hi Peter, You have the feel on the shuffle section but need a bit more work on the rumba rhythm part.t It needs to feel a bit looser, practice the with the accent on playing the first 3 notes of the lick at a bit faster with all downstrokes.those first 3 notes should have a quick 123 even feel to them. Thanks, Duke
Thanks Duke, I'll get right on that.
Hi again Duke,
I just want to make sure I am practicing the correct thing. Is this the correct rhumba rhythm?
Hi Duke,
Is this Rhumba better?
Thanks Mike, awesome lesson, im enjoying this one a lot.
Mike,
What awesome vibrato bends! Killer lesson on the master Otis Rush. Off to the woodshed...
Thanks,
Steve
Hi Mike C, slight typo on the first measure of the "Swinging Shuffle" Solo
Thanks Mike C
FYI That's my 1 x 12 aviator clean, close miked.
Whew, so many Mikes.
Hello Monster Mike, Halifax Steve here,
The fingers are like raw meat so here's what i got so far.
Great lesson.
Steve
Nice playing Steve! --- great tone too.
Hey Steve, You sound great and your real close on it. Keep up the great work! Duke
Wow, that's fantastic, Mike! And what a challenge! But so many great licks in there; it will definitely push my playing up a notch just working on this. Also, thanks for doing the metronome track. It makes it so much easier to make sure I'm hearing the time correctly. I'm on vacation today and will be spending much of it with Otis Rush. ;-)
Thanks again!
Bruce
