Today's lesson is a big one! 30 minutes of chord based licks and double stop fills in that Motown, Soul and Blues style synonymous with Stax, Muscle Shoals, Steve Cropper, Curtis Mayfield, Cornell Dupree and Jimi Hendrix. We even chuck in a couple of Bill Frisell tricks along the way to jazz things up a touch.
The powerful classic "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke lends us it's chord progression for us to use as our training ground for applying all of these rhythm fills.
As always, stick around til the end for gear talk!
