Not too technical, but just getting the additional two fingers to cooperate with the pick was a tough enough first step. I'm really getting into rhythm playing too and this lesson hit the spot for learning some Billy Gibbons style riffs & articulations. Great stuff Lucio! Thanks for the lesson! Guitar: PRS Custom 24 Amp: Voxengo Boogex DAW: Sonar 8. Quick note about the amp model: It's a free VST from Voxengo. I just used the default settings here with a little extra gain, and added a nice reverb. It's a pretty cool plugin, especially for free. I'd love to hear your coments on the tone for this type of tune You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

You could hit the strings harder and loosen the rist a bit more and lower the gain a bit. That would totally have a different effect, just an idea. 9 You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Maybe some minor bending-intonation problems and a little frustrated vibrato at the end but the basic feel and delivery was definitely cheering ! Now try to improvise in this style to find the essence of the blues. I'm intrested what you come up with ! Keep it up man! Cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
