Electric Country Blues, Vol. 1
Mississippi Delta meets Memphis country and goes electric! The result: swampy blues riffs and progressions blended with the funky picking and string bends of modern country.Jim Weider has developed a powerful electric guitar sound based on this uniquely American style. He shows you how to play licks and solos in the Delta, Louisiana and Cajun-based tones influenced by James Burton, Roy Buchanan, Muddy Waters, Lonnie Mack, Jerry Reed, Scotty Moore, Robbie Robertson, Pop Staples, Paul Burlison, Fred Carter and others.Jim provides a myriad of exercises and ideas: right hand pick-and-finger technique; bass damping; pull-offs and hammer-ons for speed work; string-bending licks combined with open strings; banjo-style rolls; shuffle and rockabilly rhythms, and much more.Full band demonstrations illustrate the licks and techniques on jam session favorites, including invaluable sections where you can play lead to their rhythm track. Songs include Big Foot, Honky Tonk Women, Deep Feeling, Milk Cow Boogie, Dead Thumb Blues, Mojo and more.Extra! Jim uses the vintage instruments, amps and outboard devices that have made his previous lessons so popular.
