We're re-issuing one of Jerry's most popular lessons with re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Jerry:
Here are Rick and I playing How Long Blues, a song originally done by the duo of Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell back in 1928. It has since been done by many, many artists in a wide variety of genres. It's got a pretty, wistful melody that, like Careless Love, doesn't require a lot of bends, acrobatics or difficult technique in the accompaniment. As always, listen to it a bunch before trying to play along so that you have it in your head and can anticipate notes that will sound good against the guitar chords.

Mike's feedback: backing track will be released this Friday! Cool! :-)
I try again: do you have Rick's backing track of this beautiful song?
Email mike @ sonicjunction.com. He will be able to tell you.
Same for me. Would love to get the chord progression Rick is using.
