    Reminds me of when I was a little kid in the 60's; practicing licks like these. It seemed back then, that the Brits had just discovered blues. For example, I had this cheap blues album with jimmy page, eric clapton, and jeff beck. It was all instrumentals that they had put together(really corny) using the same turnarounds without much variation on each song. I bet they look back and laugh at that album now.

    Very helpful! Especially liked the concepts of "Lines not chords" and contrary motion - two interesting ways to think about articulating the notes in these turnarounds to make them more interesting.

    Hey, thanks Adam ... great presentation and a great way to spend a Chilly Friday. Maybe sometime you could talk (if you haven't already) about your right hand technique. I tend to anchor/ stabilize my right hand by placing the heel of my hand on the bridge but I notice you play considerably forward of that and stabilize you right hand with your thumb. Thanks again. Stay safe.

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Před 3 lety +1

      It's only as of the last few years. It's simple actually - with no nails, I have to get sound out of the strings a lot like an electric bassist. I had to practice so that the wrist is not tight - even though there is an arch. I am still never satisfied with my tone, I wish now it would "cut" more but I like the groove with the bare fingers...THANK YOU for watching!

    • @malcolmbenn1051
      @malcolmbenn1051 Před 3 lety

      I hear you about searching for the tone you hear in your head. I also play with my finger tips (I hate the sound and feel of my nails). I grew up admiring the tone that Jeff Beck could get with just his fingers so I rarely use a pick now. My personal search for acoustic tone lead me to have Martin build me a 0000-18 12 fret with slotted headstock, Sitka top and Mahogany back and sides. I just received it from the Custom Shop a few weeks back and I love it, the slightly larger body size, 12 fret combined with mahogany did the trick for me. Love your playing. Stay safe.

    Thanks Adam! However, one little drawback with the free PDF file: All notes are written in TAB format.... I'm from a classical background, and know how to read music sheet. You should also offer regular notation alongside TAB notation. That's one reason, I will not use the file, as I don't want to go back to 'kindergarden' 😊

      Do you have difficulties to this kindergarten blues lesson as a better degree guitar player?

    • @adamrafferty
      @adamrafferty  Před 3 lety +1

      Jackie, I hear you. I actually wrote this in standard notation, but due to limited space I go with what 90% of my followers want. Most of them do not read standard notation. What I'd lie for you to do is "up YOUR game" - :-). Do this be EAR in 12 keys. It's blues, and this was all originally taught by ear, in clubs, and playing on the porch - not in notation, in a school setting. Go for it!
