Download or read book Hooker Blues written by Rick Payne and published by Rick Payne. This book was released on 2020-03-14 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the guitarists that I've listened to and studied over the years John Lee Hooker is the one steeped in the real DNA of the blues, and certainly the most African sounding. You can't help but be drawn into the primitive and simplistic way that, with just a few riffs and chords, he conjured up the sound of both the Mississippi Delta and west coast Africa. Somehow he managed to instinctively avoid the normal rhythms of his peers in the early days of the Delta. The twelve bar patterns and blues formats that we associate with players like Robert Johnson were definitely missing in the dark and tribal sounds of Hooker's playing. He favoured a more loose and hypnotic combination of runs and chords to accompany his talking style of blues and story telling. There are two shades that we can associate with his unique guitar playing. One, is John Lee, picking repetive riffs on an acoustic in a blues/folk style with tunes like 'Tupelo' or 'I'll Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive', the other being the heavier electric and fiercer rhythms of the 'Boom Boom' era. Both shades still sounding more at home in Mali than the Delta. To me, John Lee sounds the best sitting alone, with an acoustic or Sheraton guitar, accompanied by the solid foot tapping that was so typical of his sound. In this way you can begin to appreciate that he really was the most 'blues' sounding of all the blues guitarists. When I'm giving a blues guitar workshop I often say "if you want to play authentic blues guitar there's only one riff you need," and that of course is one by the genius that was John Lee Hooker! In this course I'll be sharing some of these riffs and exploring the ways you can begin to sound just like the 'Healer' himself. You can choose to use acoustic or electric. Either way, setttle down, get your foot tapping and let's play some 'Hooker Blues'. Stay connected to the web and make use of the videos to guide you through the exercises and study tunes. Rick Payne

Book excerpt: I'm sure all guitarists at some time, have been amazed when listening to Django Reinhardt. We all wonder at his inventiveness, speed and navigation of the fretboard. How did he manage to weave such incredible musical webs, and at the same time do all this with only two working fingers of his fretting hand? It's a bit like bluesman, Robert Johnson down at the crossroads - all we can assume is they were both touched by the devil called genius. For years I've dipped into his style, working out patterns and mixing them into my own playing of Blues, Ragtime and Jazz. I imersed myself in chords, scales, arpeggios and Django style doodles on the road to solving a little of the mystery. I know there are many volumes of transcriptions available which will help you but It can take years of study to become fluent in this style, and like many players, I felt I didn't have the time or patience. I wanted to take the essence and some of the skills in his playing and make it my own. So, in 'Let's Django', I will share with you some of the Django secrets I have learned on my journey as a guitarist. The exercises and tunes will give your playing a whole load of gypsy flavour and, whatever the style of your playing, you will gain extra panache and appeal. Like I said earlier, I know there are many note for note transcriptions of Django's famous tunes and I didn't want to reproduce them again here. The tunes here are fairly simple and are in the Django style, using the exercises you will learn on the way. Feel free to adapt them and most importantly use them in your own playing. The video links are there to assist in your learning of this great style. Rick Payne

Download or read book Chord Creative written by Rick Payne and published by Rick Payne. This book was released on 2020-03-07 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I've been playing and teaching guitar for many years, and I'm still amazed by the inspiration you can get just by placing your fingers on the fretboard in sometimes random ways. You can pick or strum a chord, change your fingers around, take one off, or put one down, and "hey presto!" some wonderful sound leaps out of your box with strings. I'm not saying playing some chords are always easy, and it can sometimes feel like an assault course for the fingers, but stick with it and reap the rewards. When I'm teaching I'll often introduce a novice player to an easy to play chord with an exotic sound,and find they're quickly hooked and inspired to learn more. In this course I want to share some of the many ways you can get creative with chords and hopefully inspire you to experiment with them in your own learning and styles of playing; write songs, or simply sit there and chill out! The chords can be strummed or picked, and I'll give you some of my interpretations on the way. I don't want to get too technical or bogged down with 'chord chemistry' as they say, think of them as ideas to play around with - just a few of the many possibilities. If you're new to playing most shapes can be both a way to inspire and also to exercise those fingers!
