Bad Luck Blues
Without a doubt, Lemon was one of my major influences when it came to learning how to play the country blues. What I loved most about his playing was his ability to improvise, seemingly pulling notes right out of the air. As a result, he probably never played a song the same way twice, which is precisely what I'm going to show you with this lesson.
I'm going to first show you how Lemon played the song, then I'm going to show you a variety of licks that you can add in any way you'd like. This will increase your knowledge of the fretboard and give you the confidence you need to be a better player. |
