Hey Coach, the easiest is using only the treble E string

using double 8th notes for each pair of notes until the last note which is a quarter note. So

open treble E string to 3rd fret G

5th fret A to 8th fret C

7th fret B to 3rd fret G

then, use a single quarter note on the 5th fret A.

If you want you can end it using

Open Bass E string to the 3rd fret of the bass E string

Hey Pete, when your learn what I’m talking about please clue me in… so I can figure it out too.

Ain’t no sunshine this coming week and I spent a couple of hours going over the lessons. I concentrated on Tuesday’s guitar lick and learned to do it in a ew different areas of the fret board. the notes for the first 2 measures are mostly double 8th note and notes are E and G, A and C, B and G ending on the quarter note A and finishing with quarter Bass notes of E and G.

My favorite start’s on the G string 9the fret E note, then goes to the B string 8th fret/G

the 2nd double 8ths are B/10 A note to Treble E 8th fret/C

Then Treble e 7th Fret/B and back to B string/8th fret G

and ends on the B string 10th fret A note

You can add the G/9E to the 12th fret G note.

What a classic version of a classic song. Was that Otis Redding who 1st recorded that? If i remember right he didn’t write that tune and used the Memphis studio master band, can’t remember there name but they had a fantastic Guitarist who made that recording shine. He worked with a bunch of the soul artists, also played with Booker T band, I think.

Actually the 5 chord to the root chord is a normal 7th chord and root chord transition in fork, blues and rock music. I use it all of the time. The B7 in 1st position back to the Root chord E is a really cool blues chord transition. Or the E7 back to the root A chord. Especially the A string 7th fret E7 to the 5th fret Barre Chord A, really cool.

Sorry, couldn’t get it to download properly yet. I’ll work on it some more.

I checked your Bio and saw you are new and trying to complete the 30 day, 5 day and fretboard wizard at the same time. you might want to think about the amount of effort you will need to devote to all 3 to complete them and learn something from each of them. Big hunger, small stomach approach might be bit too much.

Now, that being said I did do the 30 day challenge Sunday afternoon and the 5 day challenge on that Sunday evening. but I had years of guitar knowledge to back it up, so it was more a review than learning new items I wasn’t comfortable with.

If that is your case then go for it, brother. But don’t let yourself burn out before you have even started. The first month on TAC I did do a lot of the offered side courses on the week end but they were mostly review and I used them to sharpen up my skills. I still check in on weekends and retake some of them. I’m retire and have the time to devote to this. It sounds like your are trying to continue a full time job and squeeze in the TAC lessons. I admire your determination to learn guitar but you may be overloading yourself and your time and work constraints. Good luck.

I have no complaints of how my life has turned out. But…… if I knew back when I was 23 what i know now on the guitar…..

Bill B’s Allman Brother concert footage of the guitar playing in that concert is much easier to pick up on now. Not the nuances, but the actual notes being interpreted. Duane and Dicky would still play circles around me. Dicky’s pinky use is lighting fast and a revelation.

[jorgemac]

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

That Allman Bros live at the Fillmore East is just a magic album. I saw them in the 70’s in New Mexico and they had a off night. Then saw the In San Francisco and they smoked the Fillmore West. One of my favorite concerts.

Pete, that was pretty intense. Like the way they use the 1 mike blue grass style of performing.

[jorgemac]

Good discussion, thanks Aservire.

[jorgemac]

Yes, Plant and Krauss are a fantastic duet. When the levee breaks is a classic. I have to check out the S. Hull mad world. But everything she does is pretty special.

[jorgemac]

Thanks Albert, Ms Krauss has a few great covers. It doesn’t hurt to have the best Dobro picker in the world in you band. Jerry Douglass is extraordinary. Janis did a great Job on Me and Bobby McGee.

Great choices, I forgot about Steve Miller. he did one of my all time favorites and have it in my practice routine.

Mercury Blues or Crazy about a Mercury. A 53 Mercury 2 door hard top was my 1st car and i did love that car.

[jorgemac]

Thanks Pete, that is a very simple and easy to follow explanation. All of us that work past the 5th fret know this info and don’t even think about it because we use it so often. It is also great to know this info when developing riffs in keys close to expanded chord shapes. Very helpful info.
