Thanks as always for another great lesson on another great tune. I have the Magic Sam version but wasn't familiar with the Little Milton one before now - so thanks for turning me...

Love it Corey.  There are so many cool versions of this tune.  As I was looking for the ways different people have approached playing it --- I found this.  Awesome.

Thanks, Rick!

Thanks Boyd - The groove is a huge factor in this music. Without the groove really workin' for you, it's real tough to be at all effective. Get that rhythm locked in your head!

Hello Duke.  How about a lesson on something by Tiny Grimes like Call of the Wild?
