Again and again Michael shows us cool rhythms and licks that proceeded SRV but of whom we see similarities and are reminded.
Great scratch motifs with a Texas shuffle eighth note triplet feel. We know for example that Peter was heavily influenced by Texas guitar giant Freddie King who in turn was influenced by BB King and so on.
So its not these old fuddy duddy songs rather its these great uses of song writing technique that you as the player make as relevant as you can make them. Can you dance to it? Its a good question to ask. Can you you tap your foot?
It takes years to get your feeling and own style perfected technique wise and fortune favors the prepared. Lets look at a couple of other points in this guitar lessons favour: the key we will be in for these songs. Standard tuning Dm, Drop Low E string to D.
Its mostly flat picking too. Some very nice rhythm guitar to learn here. Some very nice lead guitar too. Know your pentatonic i iv v positions for that. Know your minor bar chords. Know their triads major and minor on the top 4 strings, have a metronome? Guitar? Amp? You're Good to go! Les Paul and Fender Bassman optional. Vox? Marshall? Selmer? Magnatone? Where there is a will, this is a good way!
