  • trying to learn that strumming tech, it's hard as a mother fuck.

  • Who needs to change chords when you're funky like R.L. Burnside? Good luck, my brother.

  • @ronkopald SLASH AND DRONE? Never heard that term! I fuckin' dig it. My term now.

  • @SavantSvant It may not sound it in any obvious way, but John Lee Hooker's boogie beat was a HUGE influence on R.L. and his music, so if you listen to, say, "Boogie Chillen" by John Lee it helps get this rhythym down a little easier.

  • hypnotic

  • Wow! That was a face melter! Aw shit ?!!

  • @mojochessclassics That's what I've been thinking for years!

  • strumming pattern: boom, boom, boom chicka boom...

  • I turn on the the radio only to hear about some piece of shit claiming to be like a g6, this is music.

  • goes to show you dont need a thousand dollar guitar to make damn good music

  • so simple ... so damn GOOD!

  • @themostBenofall

    Actually I was talking about the lyrics, but good call man. I've never been a big HW fan but I respect him.
