So fun. It has a few parts, but all are based on the minor pentatonic. Riff Shorts - Muddy Waters' Baby Please Don't Go

Learn this and play it All Night Long. This is one of Junior Kimbrough's greatest songs. Junior plays it in G# Flatish. I play it in "A" standard tuning. This is Cotton Patch Soul Blues at its best. https://getjany.com Riff Shorts - Junior Kimbrough's All Night Long

Super fun song and easy riff. I also break down a real simple, movable turnaround riff. https://getjanky.com Riff Shorts - Jimmy Reed's Bright Lights, Big City

Yes. This is one of Junior Kimbrough's most haunting songs. Lord Have Mercy on Me is actually a very complex song with very unorthodox changes and accents. The riffs are simple, but the placement is anything but. https://getjanky.com Riff Shorts - Junior Kimbrough's Lord Have Mercy on Me (I break down this complex song)

It's a really fun song to add to your blues set. This Riff Short features the song in Open D as well as in D on a two-string LoweBow. #LoweBow https://getjanky.com Riff Shorts - Freddie King's - Going Down Hill Country Style (Open G and CBG in D)
