How to Finger-pick “So Alone” and “Westerly” in open “D” tuning

I had a few requests to show how to fingerpick my song “So Alone”, so here it is. It’s in open “D” tuning – DADF#AD. I also show “Westerly” which is basically finished, just need the lyrics.

Thanks,
Rick

Statesboro Blues – Duane Allman slide guitar – preparing for a lesson

So I’m preparing to do a full lesson on how to play the Duane Allman slide guitar parts from the Allman Brothers Band “Fillmore Live” version of “Statesboro Blues”, and this is where I’m at as of February 25th, 2016.

Today I’m practicing doing loops of the first minute or so. Let me know what you think of the progress I’ve made working on this over the past three days. Thanks!

Thanks,
Rick

Quick TRIO Band Creator Jam #1 – Allman Brother Band style

This is not a full review of the DigiTech TRIO Band Creator “band in a box” style guitar pedal. I just pulled it from the box, plugged in my guitar and amp and started jamming with it.

you plug it in, give it some chords to work with, choose a genre of music and style within that genre and start jamming! It adds an appropriate bass line and drum rhythym for the genre.

Like most free-flowing unplanned jams, you aren’t hoping for perfection, you’re looking for new inspiration and new ideas that pop into your mind in a setting that is somewhat unfamiliar.

Kind of like find a room full of horse manure and thinking; “with all that shit, there must be a pony in there somewhere!”

I’m going to need practice or the digital drummer and bass player will replace me! Haha.

Thanks,
Rick
