      Just FYI, the TABs seem like the chord changes all happen on beat 4, it was difficult for me to read it as I would expect the chord changes to fall on beat 1. Not sure if this was a mistake.

    I noticed something funny that I think is universal for us guitar players, there’s this moment when we finish playing a composition or even just practicing where when we stop , there’s this moment when we snap back into real time and we all do this weird kind of head nod thing 😂 Playing definitely is an out of body experience! Am I right or am I right?!

    It’s so cool that you can just grab a guitar and come up with something like this on the spot. I’m sure tabbing took the longest 😉 Happy Birthday to Eric! 💕

    Brian it’s impossible to communicate to you just how much you mean to us out here. And how you have had such a positive impact on so many. You have literally brought so much joy to lives with your talent and passion, only eternity will be able to reveal the immeasurable blessings you have blessed this world with.THANK YOU BRIAN. If I was able I would support you financially Iam in debt to you now and what you have provided over time is really priceless “ you can’t put a monetary value on what you have done “ you reap what you sow and you will reap blessings for the rest of your life. ❤️🎸 one day, I believe things will change for me and I will be able to get another guitar and I will practice and be able to enjoy the knowledge you share, and I will do my best to help someone else. It’s truly much better to give than to receive! I hope to someday be able to be a blessing to you financially. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

    This is great! Ive played many of these licks, but consolidating like this was really helpful. And the Tbone chord was new to me, thanks! I do add a dead thumb bass to all of this, muted top E, then A at the change, I think it adds a lot to the overall sound. Great lesson!

    hey I can't really complain (it's for free) but the tabs are not what you played in several places. I only mention this because I am just on the edge of understanding this lesson. (musically this is one of my playing dreams) I know enough to fill in the variations that clearly come so naturally to you. Thanks so much for the great arrangement. I would love one like this every month.

    • @riffdigger2133
      @riffdigger2133 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My feelings to Brian- BAR 9 at the head, you just threw in a half measure of E7 before going to the A? I studied the black tab-dissertation then the white tab at the outro and they kind of didn't match-or the talk through. Trying to keep it note perfect, that jarred my preserves.

    Yes Clapton was a gateway into learning this style of music like Big Bill, Robert Johnson..from Johnson you realise 10 years before his recordings there were the guys who influenced him like kokomo Arnold, Son house, Willie Brown, Lonnie Johnson, skip james etc etc. Blues seems to be a music where you hear another player, take something you like and put your own on it..in that spirit I’m going to cop a few of your licks ;) theres a couple of nice ones there..
