Hey, how’s it going this is Jon McLennan with Guitar Control, we’re looking at a blues guitar lesson in the style of T-bone Walker and one of the things I love about a lot of his guitar Intros is they use just a lot of sliding dominant 9th chords.
We’re playing with blues in the key of A flat and starts up on an E9 chord and then you reach the pinky up to get the make it a 13th chord and then you just arpeggiate down each string then you move the whole chord down a half step to E flat night back up of course the Augmented chord you know and that’s a staple in you know T-bone Walker’s guitar intros whether it’s stormy Monday or tell me what’s the reason got just that cool augmented sound and then he goes and this is a great blues riff you should know it’s based off the A flat chord.
We play the root, I just flattened my finger down my third finger needs to know it’s on a 2nd and 3rd straight you hammer from the 4th fret double stops a hammer with my second finger on the 3rd string and goes up to the fifth fret that’s giving me just basically in a flat try out there so just kind of dancing around notes of this a flat triad almost sounds like Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters you know it’s just a real roots blues lick so let’s see if we can try the whole thing together here we go one, two, three, four.
