    I bought three of Cory's guitar lessons on True Fire. They were a pivotal point in my guitar playing. I was so frustrated with blues rhythm lessons until I discovered them. Now we get these great CZcams videos for free. I'll definitely be purchasing more videos in the future and appreciate all of this free bonus content.

    @kennybrannan Před 4 dny

    Here's a little hint guys, To get good bends, Get some good bending strings! I use Ernie Ball 9 Gage, super slinky's. Or extra slinkys., 9 or Even 8 Gage Strings,. You can get some phenomenal bends With the strings without tearing your fingers up In the process!! Yeah I'm an Accomplish Lead guitar player, Chicken picking, blues and southern rock,. I ran across this guy just now! Listen to him! he's good!

    His other killer bring it home lick is the descending g,d,c,b flat,g cut back to b flat back down to,g, dd his classic sort of turn around ending his i, iv, Mahor chord playing the mIII, then to dominant 7 on the 5th which is designated ss v7. Brilliant take on predictable blues making it Interesting and unpredictable. Great break from Boring all dominant 7 chords on the I , IV, V classic blues formula.

    @terryprovince8162 Před 3 lety

    This is great because I have been playing left handed upside down for more than 50 years. This is a good way to explain phrasing, which in the blues, creates distinct styles and sounds in the individual player. I met Albert in Santa Cruz, Ca., back in the mid seventies, when he played at the Catalyst.

    I know a guy that can shred in major pentatonic (that's certainly not me), but he got of the podium after our performance and refused to jam along with us (songs like Texas Flood) bc he had no idea how to do it. It's amazing, the difference between musicians.

    If I may add a small tip, for Albert style help to pluck the E string while bending the 4th degree of the pentatonic to either the perfect 5th or the sharp 4th, using the ring finger on the right hand instead of use a pick . Great lesson !!!

  • @simonsmith2642
    @simonsmith2642 Před 10 měsíci

    I love the “Albert king box” but I ripped off Clapton, and play a lot of Albert King licks in the “Clapton box”. I am not ashamed or scared to hang in minor pentatonic or the “boomer scale” I love it, it always works and always pleasing to the listeners ear, rather they play or dont, if it sounds good it is good. When I figured out relative minor, and adding some chromatic tension, playing major and minor together mixing it all in its all sweet BBQ sauce for the soul man.. Great great lesson here. Really good look into “less is more” and phrasing and voicing, great first step into that style man. Really great job. I never took lessons, I wish I had, but kind of glad I didn’t, in a way.

    @JunkYour925 Před 3 lety

    What’s interesting is that the lead is staying steady fixed over the high end of the E and A shaped pentatonic boxes while the chords cater to or chase the lead. How fun is that? Hey you match and chase me instead of the other way around! Now that’s laid back soloing ! 🤣. It’s basically two separate I-IV chord progressions, one played in minor mode (fret 3) the other in major mode (fret 5). Cool.

    Great job. Can I give some “cred” to the real author of “I’ll play the Blues for You”. Jerry Brach of Shreveport, La wrote the song. I rarely see much credit to Mr Beach so Albert must have bought complete rights to it.
    But you can you tube the original version
    Thank you for these tips. While I’ve always known SRV was an admirer of A. king it was years later when I started noting the similarity’s. Side note -I saw SRV at an outdoor show where Albert was also playing. And I could tell Stevie was pouring out his soul to impress his idol. Delta Blues Fest ‘84 (Greenwood, Ms)
