Slammer - Blues SI Lesson
Introduction
Hello everyone- I am Slammer.
Making a Asping Instructor Lesson is something I have always wanted to do, sorry I don't have a Video Camera. But this is probably the only chance I'll get to make one, so it's for Fun!!
I live in Miami, Florida and I am 18 years old.
My favorite guitarists are Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Johnson.
When I am not practicing I like to watch Baseball and Record Demos and Songs for fun!
I hope to be able to show you in this lesson some of the Blues Licks I use alot in my playing, and maybe you'll get some ideas to apply in Your playing!
Since this was a pretty long song I will put a few of the licks.
First off I'd like to talk a little bit about the Blues.
In my opinion the most important thing about playing the blues -besides bending- is Vibrato!
It doesn't matter if you are the slowest guitar player around, If you have good vibrato, you can be a good blues player!
Scales
This song is in the key of G minor.
I use the G Minor Pentatonic and Blues scale alot in these licks.
