Slowing down songs is another great way to learn from records and your song collection. I use Song Surgeon, which works really well for this. Check it out.

Guitar Lesson Overview

Here's a guitar lesson for this cool Freddie King song I've always enjoyed playing. It has a nice groovy line that gives the song a certain "theme". This examples shows the default rhythm line. The song is a 12 bar blues, and Freddie mostly plays licks in between the vocal lines through out the song.

I've also included the 2 intro licks Freddy plays before he starts singing. Be sure to listen to the original song, it's a good one!

I'm using my Digitech JamMan in this lesson as a quick way to create that background groove for the 2 intro licks.

Tab

Here is the tab for the main groove.

|-----------------8----10-8----|
|------------8-10---10---------|
|---6--/7-10-------------------|

Learning guitar at your own pace

I want to tell you about the guitar lesson web site JamPlay. They have kindly offered a special 7 Day Free trial to visitors of Dolphinstreet.com. I have reviewed their site, and I have to say it is VERY impressive.

There are lots of teachers and many different areas to learn from. It is well organized, and you can learn songs, techniques, etc - very complete website for learning. After 7 days, you will pay a monthly subscription continue. For the 7 trial, you don't have to give out your credit card number.

Go check it out and see what you think. Since it is completely free for 7 days, you really should test it out. You have nothing to lose. If you are interested in learning guitar online, you would be silly not to take advantage of this. If you do decide to sign up, I receive a little bonus, so this way you help support dolphinstreet as well!

Guitar Pro

I use Guitar Pro for most of my video lessons. It is a great product that will not only show you the notes in both TAB and standard notation, you will also HEAR them being played at the same you see them. Very helpful for learning! Click the link below to try the free demo.

Order Guitar Pro 6, and also get our guitar-playing method for free.

Video Clips

I have lots of gear demos too on this site. Go and take a look at some of my Guitar Videos for some examples of gear I use or have used.

would think it's cool to see the lead guitar line broken down a bit, note by note. otherwise, very, very cool!
