Everybody Ought to Change Sometime was written by Sleepy John Estes. I have made my own version instead of copying the original. I chose this song to encourage you all to make your own versions of the old songs that you like. In this lesson, the student will learn how to maintain a steady bass as well as how to incorporate it with the main riffs of the song.

Corey -
you are "The Bomb " man! I'm like a kid in a candy store - all those sweet little riffs !
I love you man !
keep on rocking in the free world!
I think for the D7 hammer and pull off it is mostly just q question of practice. Once you get it, you'll be using it in many different songs...pretty common lick. I will slow that part down in the next lesson so you can hear it more clearly. Try just isolating the lick, focusing on that for a couple of hours.
This is another really good lesson here on Sonic Junction. Thank you Corey. Getting a bass line going with the thumb and adding some cool but not extremely complicated licks onto it. You've broken it down to the parts, so it seems doable with practice. Corey do you think it's best to play through the chord changes while only playing the bass part until that is completely locked in, and then go back and learn the upper string licks? Or should I try to learn the bass and licks for the A chord and then move on to the D7 and E7?
