John Lee Hooker, the great blues minimalist. What, you think you need _three whole chords_ to play the blues? Such extravagance! John Lee forces you to consider the possibility that you are _wasting_ two of those chords. That you have not yet made the most of _one_ damn chord. Have you played anything as low down funky as this? Then maybe it's time to put away IV and V until you can use I to its fullest potential...
@Amileoj Absolutely beautifully said. Why go to IV and V when you haven't squeezed but a little juice out of the I? I'm going to keep reminding myself of that.
@Amileoj LOL! True. but I also think part of Hooker's talent is the way he creates an underlying tension or anticipation. He has a VERY good voice too.
Just wanted to add my thanks for your videos. They’re my favorite of all the on-line lessons that I’ve seen so far. Well done! I also found some great information at the site I listed. neweguitarlessons | net
Now THIS sends shivers down my spine...the hairs on my arms stand right up listening to this. This is so sweet and good it hurts; it must be the blues!

When the Blues catches you, he does not let go.
This song alone is worth the fact that the Blues will never die.
