Hey Larry, nice having you hear on the Students club and thanks for sharing your story. A Gibson SG is a fine guitar and works well for blues. I think in these crazy times music is a good tool to find balance again and thats one of my current goals in creating video's for you out there. I like that project - maybe other students want to participate this project and we all together create this blues.

Greetings everyone. I am an American living in the wild wild west of southern Arizona. I moved here from great lakes region; southwest Michigan to be exact. Not far from Kalamazoo; where they used to make Gibson guitars. I got my first guitar when my son was young and learning to play. We always encouraged his music. I got a stratocaster so I could mess around playing with him. I never really learned to play well, but it was something we did together and that was cool. We put him through lessons; always encouraging; but never pushing him. He is a grown man now and plays just for fun. When we moved, I didn't think I would play anymore so I sold my strat. Big mistake. After a couple years or so, I really wanted to play again. I bought a used Gibson SG, fixed it up a bit to suit me, got a Supro Blues king 12 amp, and I'm making some noise. So glad to find HPcrazy. That noise is beginning to sound like music. My main music interest is blues/rock. Not necessarily in that order. I really like all kinds of music, if it is done well. I don't practice as often as one should, but I play when spare time matches up with me feeling like doing it. Thanks to people like HP, being kind enough to help, I am making progress. I am in no hurry, and having fun with it. My goal is just to have something to learn; to challenge myself. I always loved music. Making my own is very cool. It is also a great escape from what is happening in the world today with that evil virus. Stay as safe as you can out there and don't be afraid. I'm imagining a song; "The corona virus blues' ; I'll be working on that.

And this tutorial you can learn the basics of a creative slow rock improvisation concept by understanding structure of a guitar riff, the rhythm and how to alter the guitar chords by still keeping the main rhythm pattern going on. In this case it is a very easy rock figure. It's E5 to C5 to D5 and the second part is A5 to C5 and D5. First I show you the simple version of the figure and then get into more sophisticated settings and patterns and riffs. creative slow rock concept.pdf creative slow rock concept.gp creative slow rock concept.mp3

one trick when it comes to wifes not liking the guitar playing of there husbands. Play accoustic guitar from times to times. That is more liked and respected. I dont know why - but I noticed over the years when I heard the talks of students.
