The sheet music linked isn’t exactly what I was looking for it has some blank measures. In case you are interested in the “old blues” you might browse through “The Real Blues Book” ( C instruments). The song appears to be complete in the book. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWQ49eqV4zs https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0115504 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W-9NKR1M-U

Recently, a member posted about Giuliani’120 right hand studies and I realized that it had been years since I heard the name not followed by law suits. I also realized that I’d never goggled the studies that I could remember. I found the lessons below pretty informative. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCj5UHuZTdY

Do you find it boing to practice double stops, if so give Steve Cropper a go. https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0062407 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMhgjTd9ytE

My Vox wah wah pedal was slowly becoming rust in the wind. So before the spirit world gets a new toy I thought I’d better learn to use it. Voodoo Child seemed an appropriate place to start and this is the you tube lesson that’s going to make it happen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQekC2bDYPQ

One of the members was recently talking about The Band Metallica I am not a “heavy metal”fan but I thought I’d take a look at the song to see what he was talking about; “One” by Metallica. First off it is 18 pages of music, and it wasn’t what I had imagined. It actually looked pretty interesting.On page 8 it has some “pick tapping”. I kinda remember Steve talking about tapping in session 14. Here it said to use the edge of the pick and not your finger. That got my attention. So I had to google pick tapping to see what exactly was happening using this method..There we’re a few videos on “pick tapping” and the videos explained how they were using a pick instead of a finger which was interesting because it eliminates the need to magically get the pick out of the way when transitioning to tapping.However since I never really tried tapping I started looking for a beginner lesson and found a Fender Play video that gave some history and discussed the basic tapping technique in more detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsHV0R5H3e8

The instrumental "Apache" took me on a little side trip and I ran into Hank Marvin. Hank Marvin played in the band The Shadows. It formed as the backing band for Cliff Richards under the name "Drifters". (Cliff Richards I assume was the English version of Elvis.)Turned out there was an American Band called the "Drifters and they weren't too happy and sued. So. the English band changed their name to The Shadows. Well, that was another side trip. Anyway I though someone might enjoy the hour long guitar playing interview with with Hank Marvin. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0kaVxgey9w4

I must have be living under a rock. Apache! Never heard it. The band must have been hiding in the “Shadows” or perhaps they were just “Drifters”. I’ve had a strat for 10 years.Early on I screwed the wammy bar in and it seemed pretty useless.It wouldn’t stay in place, so back in the case it went. I was probably in session 4 and really had no reason to figure it out. Now, I hear Apache and Hank is using the strats floating vibrato bridge. So, thanks to Apache I floated my bridge, and put some plumbers Teflon tape on the bar threads and now I am “cooking with gas”. There was a small spring with the wammy bar that I thought would help hold the bar so I dropped it in the hole, but it didn’t do anything. The Galluping part of the tune is rather challenging, but once I got out of the “starting gate” I could feel the wind in my face. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSCetatVRJ4

Roy Orbison was one of my favorite artists. Its a mystery to me how I managed not to have heard this song until the other day? Ranks right up there with "Dan Cooper". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AB0ogv_DM9g

I remember Chuck Berry performing on stage, but I am not sure if folks referred to his stage act as a “Duck Walk”. Chuck Berry surely started his career listening to the great Blues players. I read somewhere that Chuck Berry may have learned his trade from the blues players, but also helped create “Rock and Roll” which didn’t help the Blues. Some claim he was the father of “Rock and Roll”. I’ll go with Marty McFly.😎 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqS76TFCCYs

Oops, I meant Folsom Prison Blues. I am confused about the use of the capo in the Hal Leonard play along volume 115 sheet music. The Vocals appears to be in the key of F, but the guitar part is in the key of E. Why even mention a capo it’s not used. I might have figured it out when I pulled the the sheet music up on line. It seems to indicate that the capo is only for the rhythm guitar. By the way Cash settled the song issue for $75,000. sheet music https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0116776 Crescent City Blues video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3M3Igjnbhs Luther Perkins lesson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7rGr3uwSANU

B B kings “Just Like Women” The second measure symbol looks like a vibrato, but I’am guessing it’s a single note tremolo. When you can play this song “you have arrived”,but working on it might make you go “to the corner for a malted”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8m8CEMeIc0s

I’ve seen players do a “long slide”, usually only one way with no specific start or end point, but I can’t say that I’ve seen a slide identified as a glissando in sheet music until now. I was looking at the music for “Five Long Years” by Eddie Boyd as preformed by Eric Clapton. A “steady gliss” from the 14th fret to the 1st fret and back to the 19th then to the 7th. This song is about 12 pages long and how Clapton or any player remembers all those notes is beyond me. It does appear in the performance linked below that he has varied a little from the sheet. I would be surprised if he ever played it the same way twice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKTdd7awuMU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_JB-juueVk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FlEo8WUClNk

Rock Me Baby, not much to this song, but almost every bar has a vibrato. It has a 12 bar intro before the verse and the lead lines follow the I IV V chords. Time to use your looper pedal and a clean tone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OK_AwCjK0Ak https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0039671 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY57juZoLqs You can also find this song in Hal Leonard's guitar play along volume 100 featuring BB King.

Would like to have a lesson from Freddie King, but I guess I’ll settle for Eric Clapton. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMDPpzt60gY Three good resources for this song 1. Hal Leonard , Eric Clapton play along vol.41 2. Griff Hamlin Blues Guitar Unleashed lesson 6 covers the rhythm. Y3. Justin Guitar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2b3zRD8IjA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i30t7r9_PvQ you might check out some of his other video’s. His one one the caged system where it all starts on the E shape was interesting.

Anyone using a Truetone 1 spot and a 24 volt pedal? update What I learned is that I needed a voltage doubler (sold by Truetone) placed between the 1 spot and the pedal. On the 1 spot you switch one of the outlet from 9 volt to 12. Some vintage pedals you need and additional connecting wire. I bought pedals over the years, long before I was ready to use them and consequently didn’t ever look at their voltage requirements. The re-issue 24v Memory Man was one of the pedals I had stored away. I was surprised to see some vintage MM pedals with asking prices of $700 to $800. What they actually get might be a different story.

I was surprised the other day while listening to George Benson talk about his guitar playing.He said he doesn’t play on his fingertips, therefore has never had any calluses.He didn’t say in some circumstances he uses his finger pads he indicated he always uses them. So, it seems someone can become a legendary Jazz guitarist using only their finger pads.

I was watching a George Benson video and the interviewer was playing a headless guitar. I had never seen one before. https://reverb.com/news/headless-guitars-who-makes-them-and-why

Hal Leonard’s Blues Guitar p.9 Three things I did with this exercises just to play around. 1. Replaced the C with C7 2. Changed the first measure to 3 beamed 8th notes and 1 quarter note.Then I hybrid picked a shuffle on frets 5,4,3, and ended with E and A So, I played G F# F E and pedaled the high A on fret 5 with those notes. 3. Replaced the open G chord in the second measure with E7 like in Sweet Home Chicago. Three finger You can also fine this song in “The Real Blues Book”. The intro there must start at the 12 th fret. In addition you will see other chords that you could use in this slow shuffle like G/D and Gdim7 etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BkPm8JIJJQ You might also look at The Rolling Stones and Eric Clapton intros.
