  • you did a great job on this! how about the tabs?

  • @cLay1414 what program can I use?

  • Hey man. I'm also a guitar player, and I'm 13. I have a question tough. As I was playing along i felt as if my pick was holding me back. I felt as if my fingers would not need as much practice as my picking would. I also noticed that you were playing with jazz III, the one's Joe uses. Do you think the pick helps you somehow?. As I said, I have no problem playing the fast licks from laundromat, (rory gallagher) but these seem a little more difficult. Apart from that, thanks for the great lesson.

  • @skyguitar321 I felt the same way. The pick is honestly personal preference, and it's not why you're having trouble. It's most likely because the irregular picking pattern (up or down strokes) are really different from everything else you've probably been playing. I suggest starting the lick with an upstroke or downstroke, and only focus on doing alternate picking (up, down, up, down). From then, you can figure out if starting from an upstroke is better, or with a down stroke.

  • @skyguitar321 Remember, Joe Bonamassa uses ALTERNATE PICKING for these licks. I have a VERY good alternate picking excersice, and I could post a tutorial if you like.

    win.

  • youre awesome! :D

  • @ZoSo1620 well, how about Guitar Pro or something...?

  • These licks are really nice (and easy to learn), and them have the essence of Bonamassa!! By the way, my congrats for your nice technique and taste in music with that age! Keep on rockin'

  • @ZoSo1620 Yes I'm aware Joe, like all guitar players uses alternate picking. I am considering changing to Jazz III, and I wanted to know if it really makes a difference. As far as the tutorial, I would be very thankful if you could please post it, when you have time. thanks.

  • You are amazing!!!!
