Hi Will. Whenever I hear you play I always feel obliged to respond but try and resist spontaneous responses. I've just finished an arduous day composing my latest and final essay for an OU course. Ive poured a G n T and I could not have chilled out to a better end to the evening. The Blues covers many moods, not least therapeutic. Thank you.
Great playing...nice slow blues...where did you get that back-up track? I was using that 'hybrid' style of picking in '58 with a flat pick...just couldn't get the hang of a thumbpick!
Looks like you hold the pick between the pads of the thumb & first finger. I do it the same way. Ive tried to change to hold the pick to the side of my first finger ( the CORRECT way according to most ) but after playing for 40+ years, pad to pad it is. Great playing.
@zoid52 Oddly enough, I hold the pick the "correct" way when playing rhythm guitar in my band! When I'm playing solo stuff, however, I like to use finger and thumb - like Jimi Hendrix... :-)
Excellent work - A lesson with tab will make you a fortune !!

You should record more of you playing that G&L. A great guitar.

Very nice, Will. Has the T-bone Walker feel to it. Nice double picking at the end too. A touch of Stormy Monday, for sure:)

@countryclassic The backing track is me - multi-tracked. The drums come from a Zoom machine - all the rest is live instruments. :-)
