Lick of the Week
Albert Collins plays fast and furious in this lick from his classic tune, If Trouble Was Money. You'll want to take your time with this, but it'll definitely be worth your while.

What's New
July 25, 2018 I'm back! I was away for a couple of months, but now I'm back and at it. You can expect new and regular additions to the Featured Video and Lick of the Week again, starting today. I am still offering 30-minute online lessons for $35 (currently on Skype only). You can work one-on-one with me on any of my books and more. Check the Online Lessons With John page for more details. |
Featured Video
This week we have two giants of the blues guitar featured - Otis Rush and Eric Clapton, in a moving rendition of Double Trouble, live at the Montreux Jazz Festival, back in 1986. Two distinct styles, two very different guitars. There is an abrupt ending, so be ready for it.
