I remember getting one of those plastic records in a guitar player magazine, back in the 70s, How to play like BB King. I wore it out which didn't take long. Love all these videos, thanks mate.
“Robert Cray Licks in A” - it’s a rap! Well, a rhyme anyway. Cheers for the lesson and chat, Mike. Have yourself a great gig - wish I could be there! 🎸👍
Hey Mike, about time someone did Robert Cray some justice!!! You did a great job capturing his feel which is not easy to do. As you know he is a great rhythm player so his solos incorporate a lot of staccato and rhythmic ideas. I am lucky enough to know him personally because a friend of mine is very good friends with him. We get to hang out with him and the band whenever they are in town. I think you are 100% correct about him not sliding down to the E note. I’ve seen him play many times and I believe it’s all in position. Please do the world a favor and do more Robert Cray lessons. Right next door and smoking gun have excellent examples of his unique style. Best
Very nice work there aren’t enough Robert Cray lessons out there in the world great job!!!
Hey Mike - feel free to chat as long as you want - I enjoy hearing your thoughts as much as your playing!
Thanks again for the great lesson. Wish I could watch you play in Dublin the 24th, good luck and enjoy your gig!
