No one said Keith Richards was simplistic. Keith is the rhythm guitarists' rhythm guitar player. Traditional but original too. And he can finger pick.
Andy teaches us a 19th Nervous Break Down lick using triad shapes and lift on and lift offs on adjacent notes. Could that have been a Brian Jones Lick? Alas poor Brian.
Incidentally if you double click the screen of this puppy it expands to full screen like you dream about with a great menu on the bottom.
Here we are learning rhythm guitar where as in some other other Andy Aledort presentations teaching he has stuck to solos (Kings of Blues & Rock for example).
This is the only one of Andys' I have featuring Keith Richards. The Keith Richards lesson has a .PDF file including the articles themselves from the magazine but the other guitar players featured after Keith don't get any .PDF coverage.
With Keith Richards and the coolest Guitarists of all Time we get 37 minutes of Keith and 27 minutes devoted to T-Bone Walker, Django Reinhardt, Jimi Hendrix, Brian Setzer, Jimmy Page (using DAD-GAB tuning which when played open makes a Dsus4 chord), Buddy Guy, Ritchie Blackmore and Billy Gibbons.
OK we start with T-Bone Walker and his single string soloing in the standard tuning Key of G a la Stormy Monday. We get 6 bars of the Intro. We meet the inner ninth chord with the implied root note. Chords G9, C9, D9. Next Andy He shows us a couple of chord moves drawing special attention to the chromatic movements and time count. Then he tosses in the in my opinion elusive soloing style Mr. T-Bone used which mixes major, minor pentatonic and Mixolydian scales. 1 trip-let, 2 trip-let, etc. He shows a T-Bone lick he says Hendrix used in his cover of Bob Dylans' All Along the Watch Tower. Andy gives us 7 minutes on T-Bone. The Bone is the missing link.
