Blues is a musical genre known as the folklore of African-American musicians. Its origins are associated with the southern states of the USA, that is the region conventionally called the “deep south”. The very name of the genre (sadness, despair) is related to its nostalgic form, also in the textual layer. Blues pieces touch male-female relationships as well as feelings and emotions (love, loneliness, faithfulness, jealousy). However, blues performers often sing about freedom, work and travel. The songs also feature social criticism relating mainly to racial inequality and political issues.

Many artists are inspired by blues music and combine it with other styles. In this way, such musical mergers as punk blues, soul blues or blues rock. The popularity of this genre in the USA has led to the emergence of regional varieties, such as Louisiana, New Orleans, Texas and Detroit blues. There are also factions characteristic of other countries – British blues and African blues.

How to Play “Good Times Bad Times”

Awesome lesson, and solo breakdown of Led Zeppelins – Good Times Bad Times by Brett Papa.
This time Brett Papa showing us how to play the rhythm and solo part of the song Good Times Bad Times. He trying to do it as easily as possible to learn and understand.

“Good Times Bad Times” is a song by the English rock band Led Zeppelin, featured as the opening track on their 1969 debut album Led Zeppelin. The song was Led Zeppelin’s first single released in the US, where it reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

For the lead guitar solo, guitarist Jimmy Page fed the output from his Fender Telecaster guitar through a Leslie speaker to create a swirling effect. Jones says that the riff he wrote for this song was the most difficult one he ever wrote.

Led Zeppelin was an English rock band formed in London in 1968. The group consisted of vocalist Robert Plant, guitarist Jimmy Page, bassist/keyboardist John Paul Jones, and drummer John Bonham. With their heavy, guitar-driven sound, they are regularly cited as one of the progenitors of heavy metal, although their style drew from a variety of influences, including blues and folk music. The band has been credited with significantly impacting the nature of the music industry, particularly in the development of album-orientated rock (AOR) and stadium rock. Many critics consider Led Zeppelin one of the most successful, innovative, and influential rock groups in history.

Blues-rock

Blues-rock is a fusion genre combining elements of blues and rock. It is mostly a piece of electric ensemble-style music with instrumentation similar to electric blues and rock: electric guitar, electric bass guitar, and drums, sometimes with keyboards and harmonica. From its beginnings in the early to mid-1960s, blues rock has gone through several stylistic shifts, and along the way it inspired and influenced hard rock, Southern rock, and early heavy metal. Blues-rock continues to be an influence in the 2020s, with performances and recordings by popular artists.

If there are any discrepancies between the tab, my playing in the solo and my playing in the lesson, well that’s entirely accidental, and just shows the inconsistency of this amateur!

“Lenny” is the tenth and final track on the first Stevie Ray Vaughan album Texas Flood. The song is in 4/4 time and notated in the key of E major (but instruments are tuned down a half-step). It is played very slowly and freely, with Vaughan alternating between jazz-inflected chords and solo runs.

The main chord featured in the song is a movable Major 6th chord in which Stevie Ray Vaughan applies moderate vibrato by use of tremolo bar.

The solos incorporate both the E major scale, E minor Pentatonic scale, and E Minor Blues scale. The style is influenced by Jimi Hendrix ballads like “Little Wing” and “Angel”. The song itself was written and named for his wife at the time, Lenora. Vaughan also named one of his guitars “Lenny”, which he used to play this song and also “Riviera Paradise”. The song was often played at live shows. (via wikipedia.com)

Johnny Winter was a Texas Blues legend, and he had some of the fiercest chops you’ll find anywhere. In this lesson we’ll dissect a particularly tricky lick from the song “You’re Humbuggin’ Me”, found at the 1:45 point in the song. This lick uses a simple repeating pattern that becomes very difficult as you play it at faster speeds.

A non-slide version of the great blues classic of unknown origin! I attribute it to Robert Johnson, but that’s only because his version is the earliest I know. Lots of people have covered this as a slide song because of Elmore James’ classic version, but a significant number of bands, including ZZ Top, do versions without slide. In the key of D, standard tuning. Lead guitar would be in D minor pentatonic. Thanks for watching. Special thanks to Larry Manch for inspiring my interest in this great tune.

These Still Got The Blues guitar lesson videos will take you into the style of the late great blues rock giant Gary Moore. His uncanny sense of melody produced some of the most beautiful guitar moments ever recorded.

Gary Moore’s powerful playing style is something that every guitarist should study no matter what style of music they play. “Still Got The Blues” is his most popular hit not only because it is such a beautiful song, but because the guitar solos showcase Gary Moore’s signature melodic blues playing in full force.

The Still Got The Blues guitar lesson videos include all three guitar solos and some of the most melodic chord progressions you will ever hear in a blues rock style.

These video guitar lessons are a great way to learn how Gary Moore incorporated standard blues techniques within a more classical-esque scale style to create jaw dropping results for the listener.

Whether or not you are familiar with Gary Moore’s work or you are just discovering this guitar icon you will have a blast learning his signature piece in its entirety. Good luck!! :D
