The 3 most important words in blues are "Lump De Lump " LOL.
Yup!
I have the tabs printed out for that one. I like Andy's articles/youtubes. Her also has a nice one on Hubert Sumlin, who he played with numerous times.
I was surprised when you chose that one anyway, lol.
I'll try it anyway (may take a year, lol) and send you the vid
I'm really enjoying the Blues tutorials. Continue with them please! My particular interests at the moment are older Chicago Blues, The stylings of Fenton Robinson, Jimmy Reed, Magic Sam, Hubert Sumlin (possibly the happiest Blues player ever, he looks like a kid at Christmas when playing) etc. Anything to help the journey along would be greatly appreciated.
