Part 2 of 2 in this comprehensive Rhythm and Lead study on the tune "People Get Ready". In this second and final part we work on a lead study that focuses in on blending the Major and minor pentatonic scales, as well as outlining chords with arpeggios. As always, our goal here is to come up with something tasteful, complementary and stylistically fitting for the style. We throw in a few bluesy touches just to sweeten the deal a tad.

Just to clarify; Parts 1 and 2 share the same lesson material package, so if you already downloaded them for Part 1, there's no need to download them again.

Thanks for your enthusiasm to this two-parter, the feedback has been truly amazing! 🙏🏻🧡

The Opening lick come on now son!!! worth the price of admission alone I am running out of compliments sir so I'll just say thanks...

Gert De Groof

I thoroughly enjoyed my Sunday learning these tasty licks Alex. You have an exceptional talent in teaching all these different styles so masterful and inspiringly. You make me hungry to learn. Can’t wait to see what that ‘something completely different’ will be next week. Take care friend.

Alex Farran Guitar

Thank you Gert, that really means a lot to me! I’m so happy you’re finding the lessons to be inspiring 🙏🏻 Next week, all I’ll say is.. acoustic 😉

Francesco Del Vecchio

Thanks Alex, loved part one. This is one of those songs that has always been on my desert island list. Every time I log into this site I am grateful for your tasty choices and inspired playing. Nice to see that there are so many others who share this.

Matthew Korsmo

I really enjoyed this lesson set! Gave me a lot to chew on for a couple of weeks.

Hey Alex, my Choca Blues ladies and I have got a blues festival gig in Guatemala City on Wednesday night. We're doing this arrangement of People Get Ready, thank you very much! It's our last tune, and we do an acapella verse at the end. People really have enjoyed it and I am enjoying playing it. I'm playing this on my Godin Archtop....that last verse lead is just too hard on that. Hope you're doing well!

Alex Farran Guitar

That’s so great Carlos!.. thank you for sharing that with me! I’m glad you guys are playing it live.. I’m sure it sounds amazing! 🙏🏻

Lets transcribe

...Just Thank the Lord, Just Thank the Lord!
