If you want to get hold of it, it's titled "Kill It, My Love" from this backing tracks collection (which I highly recommend purchasing!).. https://thecinellibrothers.bandcamp.com/album/backing-tracks-lonesome-in-your-bedroom-vol-i Book in for a private Zoom lesson to level up your playing, or find new inspiration!.. just choose a slot at the link below; https://tidycal.com/alexfarranguitar/guitarlesson Sometimes it’s the simplest ideas that create the biggest breakthroughs.. In this lesson we’ll be diving deep into the world of classic electric blues soloing, taking inspiration from the timeless styles of B.B. King, Albert King and other legendary blues guitar greats. We’ll explore how a handful of deceptively simple concepts can completely transform your solos. Topics include Albert King style bending, mixing major and minor pentatonic sounds like a badass, and easy tricks for outlining the chord changes without getting lost in theory or turning every blues solo into a jazz exercise. We also discuss the importance of time feel, subdivisions and strong lyrical phrasing. There are so many little “lightbulb moments” packed into this lesson. The kind of ideas that instantly make you think, “Ahhh… that’s how they do it.” Whether you’re stuck playing the same old licks or simply looking to sound more convincing over a blues progression, this quick fire lesson will give you a clear roadmap for creating stronger solos right away. ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 00:00 - Performance 00:36 - Introduction 01:20 - We begin 02:23 - Triad + Doubled Note 02:43 - Bend from the Wrist!!! 03:37 - B.B King Trick! 04:05 - Tabs 04:34 - 1st Finger Bends 05:27 - Life Hack no.1 06:31 - Billy Gibbons 07:50 - Workshop with Adam Levy 08:35 - Bad-ass Major & Minor Pentatonic Blend! 09:12 - Albert King style bends 10:49 - Name That Tune!? 11:00 - Bar 10 11:58 - Turnaround/Ending lick & using the pick to mute 12:41 - An evergreen B.B lick! 13:07 - Time Feel & Subdivisions! 14:08 - Tabs 14:16 - Tone Talk! 15:09 - Sign-off!
