Hi Steve, You should relax the tempo a bit but the second hit is more of an anticipated feel against the relaxed groove. Good start, try watching me do it again and listen for the anticipation every other stroke. Duke
Making these videos just keep putting more tools in the toolbox. I used the V walkup, the IV bent chord, and the country Jimmy Reed style riff during my gig last night. A guest vocalist got up and we did a slow-medium shuffle so I decided to use these licks. My bass player heard the bouncing rhythym lines and jumped all over it.
Still got to some work on the Lockwood lick. Its not quite natural yet.
Hi Steve, very good start on it. The lick you're refering to will come a lot easier if you keep doing it. It's a very useful lick in blues in E once you get used to it it will become second nature. good work! Duke
I've been trying to get more fingerpicken' into my blues. Here's a go on my old Daion.
Still working on the lyrics but that always takes longer and need a solid foundation first. I've got weak thumb technique but these lessons will hopefully help.
Is the "Omm Ba Omm Ba Omm Ba" piano shuffle similiar to the "flat tire" shuffle groove? That's what they call it in the blues circles down here in Texas. The sound of a tire that's gone flat and all the rubber is on one side. Boom flap boom flap boom flap etc...
What a great lesson. I still need to work on this a bit but here's what I got so far. Love the Little Milton.
Thanks Duke
Let's try it again...
Hi Steve, good feel there once you locked in. Duke
Flat tire Fun...

Hi Duke,
Love working on this type of blues. I need more of these grooves in my vocabulary.
Thanks,
Steve
So many ways guys and gals play this riff. I like to play the lick in measure 1. Also do a octave root variant.
Ex 1
or Ex 1a (with octve)
Most seem to play the following : Ex 2
Always seem to get a look if I play it the Muddy way (lick 1 above) and not the double stop lick (Ex 2)
Especially from harmonica players.... Just sayin...
Super cool axe Duke.
Hi Duke,
One of my favorite Freddie king tunes. Can't wait for next weeks lesson.
Thanks,
Steve
Love the Muddy Duke!
Look good Mike.
I think there is a slight error in measures 7 and 8. Also later in the second vrese.
Hi Steve --- great catch, thank you. I've updated the tab. Please let me know what you think.
Look good Mike.
Love the simple country solo stuff. Cool beans Duke!

Fun one Duke.
Corey,
I love this tune! Still have a lot of work on the vocals. But thumb is starting to work most of the time...
Steve
Thanks Corey.

Cool lesson Duke!
Thanks Duke. I'm just double checking since sometimes its a struggle getting on the same page as the drummer. Bass players are easier... :)

Hi Steve, Yes I guess you call that the guitar equivelent to the flat tire groove. Duke

Thanks guys,
