Description
I wanted to take some old delta blues style licks and modernize them by playing them in more of a Chicago style electric blues (with a full band). You’ll hear some Son House and Robert Johnson influence in this. The first half focuses on rhythm and the second half focuses on lead (all in the E minor pentatonic scale). Make sure to download the MP3 jam track to practice your timing (especially for the lead part).

Outstanding, simply outstanding…I am growing in leaps and bounds with your lessons…….thanks Brian!!
Very nice lesson, Brian. Always like the Delta Blues. Going to try this fingerstyle.
Brian: Add some cool vocals and a couple of female back up singers perhaps a horn section and……think about this……….you really have something here! Love the ‘shuffle rhythm’ change over too………..
Also………..again just to top off the tune……..some wicked slide guitar would be a blast on this recording……..the Farfisa/Leslie speaker sounding organ is killer though………..

I love it! Thanks Brian
brian you rock thank god for active melody
Hey Brian,
Great tune here. I’ve enjoyed learning it. The third bar of A has thrown me for a loop, though. Is the first section 13 bars? Peter
still waiting on a revisit to robert cray
Awesome sauce!
Tasty…..
Very cool lesson, just awesome voicing! Always look forward to your excellent training videos.
Great Lesson, Thanks!
A very interesting variation on two themes.
Great lesson, as always. Love the two backing tracks - could use more of that!
Please and Thanks…
Interesting idea. Can’t wait to try this out after work. Thanks, Brian
Very nice, I will be trying this very soon.
Hey Brian,
Bar 10 into bar 11…another all star blues lick. Thanks!
It’s great to have a lesson that’s tough but still do-able. I’ve learned more here in a short period of time than I’ve learned in a long time. I hope you’re around for a long time. Me and your other students need your teaching.
Hy Brian
Yan for your lessons! I ‘ve learned a lot of new tips & tricks to play my Guitar and now I begin to enjoy my sound!
Brian - this is awesome. But when I downloaded the tab I am not seeing the 4th string upstroke and 6th string at 3rd fret when you get to the A7 part. I may be missing something. I am following along with the videos though and you do a great job explaining.
great lessons. looking forward to more. thanks a million, I am picking up the guitar every day . again thank you! Brian
Is your Strat hard tailed ???
Great lesson Brian thank you very much.
Oh 2 be a premium member. I’m supposing that a month would get me most of the back ground tracks but is it worth it. I do so enjoy the techniques shown and appreciate them available to the general population as they are most enlightening ….
Peace

delta wow thanks brain….. hope to make a texan ala srv next time
Brian this had got me working hard its a great sound. I think the tab is adrift with the 0- 4 fret on the 6 th string bar 4 and on at leadt with the slow play back as that is what I aspire to at the moment.
@JohnStrat - Thanks for catching the error in the tab. I’ve corrected this now.. should have been 3rd fret not 4th!
I love this Brian.
It made my mind up for me. about going Premium.
Well done – very clever and tastefull!
