This week, some blues, and a real classic: The Stumble as played by Peter Green, from the Hard Road record he did with the Bluesbreakers. I walk you through note-for-note what Peter plays in his first two choruses, then I talk more generally about how to improvise over this great chord progression. My tab is below. I've written out 3 choruses of the original track, and my solo I play at the start of the video is tagged on the end. Backing is coming in the next post. 

Hope you enjoy the lesson!

Peter Green… I didn’t know who he was 7 years ago when I started learning guitar. Now one of my favourite artists. His Green Manalishi more sinister and heavy than the Judas Priest cover. His Black Magic Woman amazing, better than the Santana cover. Oh Well, was my first real in depth guitar endeavour. What a legend this man is. I just don’t have the words…

Andrew Hibben

What a nice way to start the month - Peter Green lesson! I've been playing 'Man of the World' & 'Albatross' (after a fashion) every time I pick up a guitar, never quite getting close to his tone & feel, (but then who can?). Definitely some licks I can nick from this Adrian...thank you!

NB

Thanks Adrian - in short: yes more blues lessons please. This was great. Anything with the blues-jazz interface would be great. More old style than new from my perspective. Anyway - your lessons are always so well explained so happy to follow your lead!

David Bullivant

Been on the “to-do” list since the first time I heard it. My favourite British Blues Guitarist, thanks 👍.

Gary Ainsworth

Wow! Last month Happy House now my favourite guitarist and one of the first tunes that got me into playing. I love his track Greeny too, have you heard that. My ‘goto’ warm up exercise. Thanks for this Adrian, looking forward to learning more than the intro at last and playing along with your backing track.

Ian West

Just what I need. Look forward to another bluesy workout

Fabio Punk

oh this is one of my favorites Adrian! maybe too difficult for me, but I will give it a try, at least bit by bit. Thanks!

le gall didier

good job Adrian, musical thanks from France

Gary Ainsworth

This is also one of my favourites and biggest influences as far as guitarists go. First heard it years ago when I borrowed a cassette with a mix of stuff on such as Hendrix, ZZ Top. When I heard this album I was a big fan. Made up with this Adrian thanks.

Stuart Whitehead

Great lesson as ever.Yes,please more blues.A delta type/self accompanying thing for electric guitar would be marvellous.

Ted Moore

Loved this lesson from one of the great bluesmen of the 60"s. During his time with John Mayall this was his set showpiece. So many great guitar pieces of music that show his virtuosity, none more so than "Jumping at Shadows" a study in dynamics,feel and timing. Great stuff Adrian keep it up.

Héctor

After The Stumble as played by Peter Green, will not be nice Hideaway as played by Clapton? 😍 Thanks Adrian for the nice song and the insights!

sonny thompson was the keyboard player in Freddie's quartet.

Hi Adrian, is there a lesson on diminished chords? I'd like to learn how to use them and what function they serve in music. Would be great to learn some theory behind it (harmony).

anyonecanplayguitar

I haven't done a lesson specifically on diminished chords. But I think many would be interested in something along those lines, so I'll try and do something along those lines next year.

anyonecanplayguitar

It's 6X565X. Fingered 2 1 3 1 with the first finger doing a little barre.

anyonecanplayguitar

Yes, like that idea. Will try and do something along those lines next year.

anyonecanplayguitar

Thanks Fabio. Definitely have a go and you might surprise yourself. Maybe just try the main theme, you can always leave out or adapt some of the flashier licks until you're ready for them.

anyonecanplayguitar

Yes, a legend indeed. Probably my favourite blues player. And Green Manalishi's got that metal-like heaviness for sure!

anyonecanplayguitar

Thanks NB! Will try and keep the blues and bluesy-jazz stuff coming next year.

anyonecanplayguitar

Yep, I always try and mix up the styles I look at, but I'll definitely keep the blues stuff coming in the New Year.

Héctor

😱😱 cool

anyonecanplayguitar

Thanks Gary. I was wondering which version to check out first as there seemed to be a few. This sounds great. Could definitely see myself learning this and doing a video in the future.

Roberto Carraro

Hi Adam, the diminished chords in this context usually come after the 4 chord, before the 1 chord
