For today's lesson we will focus on the basic riff. I will slow it down so we can play along. This is a simple song, so play close attention to your rhythm and tempo.
See you next week.
Enjoy.

Hi Harry --- you sound great! I love the foot-tapping too --- really makes the groove.
Nice job. You have a nice touch on the guitar and the tone really comes through. You have the basic riff down so just practice the rhythm as it seemed that a few times your foot was slightly out of time. Good job.
Thanks for the kind words Corey. Yes my foot runs amuck a few times, also noticed myself doing something with the slide I was unaware of. I learn a lot just playing the videos back....Notice all kinds of things your unaware of when playing.
Thanks again
Sounds good Harry. Nice and simple. I would only say to play just a little bit more behind the beat.
