Jimmy Rogers Style – Chicago Blues Guitar Lesson – EP097

Description

In this guitar lesson, I’ll show you how to play a classic Chicago blues style rhythm and lead in the style of the great Jimmy Rogers. Jimmy played in the Muddy Waters band during the 1950s and went on to develop a solo career, recording on Chess records with classics like, “That’s Alright” and “Walking By Myself”. This lesson takes samples of some classic Jimmy Rogers style licks and combines them into a single composition. This composition also has a beginning and an end, which is something new that I’m going to start introducing to these lessons.

Be sure to click on the play button below to play the lesson in this format. Also, if you need to slow it down, you can click on the “gear” icon and slow the tempo down to whatever you want. You can also loop a section by highlighting a portion of the tablature (doesn’t work on a smartphone or tablet).

If you’re having issues on a smartphone or tablet device, you may want to disable the video portion and only play audio w/ tab – you can do this by clicking on the gear icon and choosing the “audio only” version instead.

Full screen mode is now available! Just click on the gear icon and scroll down until you see “View Full Screen”
