On Charles Brown's album All My Life, on his song Early In the Morning, the guitar part is quite similar to this one, and parts of the first chorus of the solo are pretty much the...

Here's a shot at it.  No attempt at getting the timing to the recording right, that will have to come later, just trying to get the notes and the licks together.

Hey Boyd, I'm glad you brought this up. The guitar is there to serve your voice, not the other way around. When I want to play Robert Johnson songs, I use a capo and sometimes...

Mike, there is nothing new in guitar playing. Revoicing standard chords is a way of saying the same old thing in a different way. To make a song flow, keep practicing it until you...

Thanks for the compliment Charlie. Once you master your right hand thumb, there's no way part of Piedmont picking that's can hide from you. Guy Davis

William, I stole everything I know. Stealing's ok if you master what you stole and make it your own. Thank you. Guy Davis

For instructional purposes I'm switching to "acoustic" to teach the rest of this song. Many of you don't have amplifiers and may have no need of one. All nuances of attack...

Hello Andre, I may have turned the guitar volume down by mistake making it less distorted but that was not intentional. Cheers, Duke

Hi Jerry - Are you doing any tongue blocking on the turnaround (5:55)? I'm hearing some of the tongue-blocking things (ghost chords, percussive effect) Dennis Gruenling was...

Okay, on the Chess 50th Anniversary version of the song, listen at roughly 1.58  Anyone hear another harp, very faintly, in the background?

So I know I'm jumping the gun, so to speak, but the solo was just so cool, I had to dive in! Pretty close, I think. I'm really trying to internalize the phrasing.  By the way,...

That's good Ian, let me point out when you do the decending chords E/B G dim the next chord should be B7 before going back to E7. Keep up the good work! Duke

Thanks Bruce.  You're right.  We've updated the chart.  
2018 thumb Bruce dumes left a comment on: Driftin' Blues Chords
Another error I've been meaning to mention is the last chord, which is labeled as a Bb7#5. It should be a B7#5.
