My opinion but when this finally clicks it hits you like a 40 ton parachute. This can also be played anywhere on the neck, takes on a nice bluez sound. Wee bit more difficult though cause you have play the open notes.

@Mike Abalos this may help. Basic structure and progression. Low G note sets the tone, 3rd fret low E sting. No sure but in the key of B.

I'll be back next week!
Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been here as often as I'd like this week. We had a family emergency yesterday and my wife and I are just taking a little time to process and grieve. As a result, I haven't sat down to make any video's this week, but I will get back to the usual next week. Thank you for your understanding. In the meantime, I did have a quick 5 minute lesson done already and it is uploaded into the classroom section titled "5-Minute Lessons". Here's the link: https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/4000ef63?md=36323bec1b394b958d00620f791b1b1e It's all about using drone strings and single string lead lines for practice, or even to make your solo guitar sound a bit more full, like a self accompaniment. Give it a try yourself and I hope everyone has a great rest of their week. Thank you all again, I'll see you next week! -Ben

Thanks Ben, drone notes are really useful. This is sloppy. l am not with it today. Take care, I'll keep your family in my thoughts.

@John Witte thanks. Normally play this on acoustic. It's missing the pull offs. Lol I've played this a long time you would think it would be spot on. Lol May try to clean it up.

Fading!
Hey everybody! I just wanted to post one more for the weekend. I’ve been working on this for a little bit and finally found a decent backing track to play it with. I got off to a rocky start getting synced with the track but I hope you like it! Suggestions are very welcome.

It's time for a new Classroom section!
Hey everyone! I just made a new classroom section that I'll be filling up over time called, "All About Technique". I think we all can deduce what's going to be happening in there haha! That's right! It's all about the mechanical side of guitar! The picking, the strumming, the sliding, the bending! The first video I've just uploaded is all about "Strict Alternate Picking" and the why's and how's. I've got a few different ideas as well to try while you practice getting this under your belt. So if you've never thought about it, or tried it awhile ago and gave up on it, jump on in there and give it a chance! If you want better accuracy, or perhaps want to build up some more speed, this is a great place to start! https://www.skool.com/intermediate-guitar/classroom/1008c20d?md=76a1f695d4324fafb8e4f9fea34f7a8e I hope everyone has a great weekend with lots of "A-Ha!" moments! Until next week! -Ben

@Benjamin Wood thanks. Ben, I find that your classical alternate picking exercise is the most challenging. After learning the progression, it's all about trying to relax as this exercise works on the forearm and the faster you pick the more tense the muscles become. Also I like the progression and use it to warm up now. Then I use two of your other exercises to relax. Of course the key is practice in moderation. Ok, I have posted before about the classical exercise. Lol But of all the exercises this one builds strength in both hands. Cheers

Blues turnarounds
Hey Ben or Mike, Do you fellas know some turnarounds for some blues? I’m looking for some new ideas.

@Roy Hellstrom if remember correctly Robert Johnson started most songs with a turn around. Might be some tabs out there. Stefan Grossman would be another source. Rights of Passage.
