  • 'The mother of all riffs' - a bold statement but it's true! If you learn this one riff you will be, inadvertently, learning hundreds of others at the same time. Day Tripper, Pretty Woman, Crazy Train to name but three. Click the blue link for 'free' paperwork if you want to give it a try...it's easy! www.bluenoteguitarschool.com/...

    Life By The Drop was incredible, Rob.
    I’ve been trying to play that for decades. You nailed it.
    Don’t be disheartened. That was the best lesson I’ve seen. Simple, straightforward and accurate.
    Perfect 👌

    I learned how to play a guitar I bought down in Tijuana Mexico when we set off on a western pacific submarine trip in the late 1960s. We learned to play the shuffle with barre chords and some other cool stuff but If you would have been our ship mate it probably would have changed the trajectory of our life :-)
    We came in to Okinawa after many months of sea duty and walked into a bar and listened to a great band, Japanese long hairs.
    We were very impressed by a song they performed that night and when we got back to San Diego to my surprise we heard the song again. It was Come Together!

    I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't watch the Life By The Drop video because I'd literally never heard of that song before. Thus I had no desire to learn it. I'll go give it a quick view right now, though. Take a look and see if maybe it's something I want to learn.

That’s connected to facetube 👍…never came across a pro like you who gives away so much for free…and your method and communication skills (tho they probably come natural to you ) are just brilliant ..thank you…just to add whilst watching this vid .. Hey bulldog got into My head .. I’ve always thought it’s their most underrated track and you can isolate maccas bass by unplugging the LH speaker…maybe one for the future👍..sorry I’m getting carried away 🙄

Thank God I stumbled across you by accident Rob you have given me the will to live my dreams again. Good on you Rob your a diamond, I love you as only a Mother could love.

    The B7 chord on your sheet has an A# as the fourth note in the first measure. I thought the A# was flatted so that a B7 chord would not have an A# in it. Am I missing something?

    • @fennahrob6934
      @fennahrob6934  6 місяців тому

      The A# It’s a blue note, a stepping stone to B. Common in blues a rock n roll. Sounds awful in isolation but great as part of a walking bass line. 👍🏻
