Riff #2: Smokestack Lightnin - Hubert Sumlin (Songs Guitar Lesson RF-002) How to play

Your Weekly Riff today is the Hubert Sumlin classic, Smokestack Lightnin, which he played in Howling Wolf's band. It based on the recording made for Chess Records. It's become a blues classic and covered by many people. There are clips of Hubert playing it on YouTube but thought I'd help you out and explain what is going on - but MAKE SURE you check the original and listen to the blues master play it for real, copy that, not me!

Taught by Justin Sandercoe.

Full support at the justinguitar web site where you will find hundreds of lessons on a wide range of subjects, and all the scales and chords that you will ever need! There is a great forum too to get help, no matter what the problem.

And it is all totally free, no bull. No sample lessons, no memberships, no free ebook. Just tons of great lessons :)
