    A lot of Texas style blues will use the Root-5 feel/pattern. Pretty much a staple of country music. Great song choice to demo it!

    Miss Madora your bass guitar lessons are very pleasant and easy...Your voice is pleasant and does not interfere with following...I think that's how a music instructor should be - pleasant, soft, unobtrusive...You are unobtrusive...

    @robblake9947 4 роки тому +6

    Wow I had been using the minor 7th instead of the 6th for the leading tone which sounds ok but your use of the 6th sounds much better, with more of the forward motion that the song calls for. Just a half step can make a world of difference.

    • @RyanMadoraMusic
      @RyanMadoraMusic  4 роки тому +4

      Hi Rob, believe it or not, that's a really common mistake... I actually went straight to the b7th upon first listen as well. It's also something that is commonly used... depending on the song, players may choose to use the 6th (as in this case), the b7th, or even the major 7th! What a difference a half step makes.

    @akmzaman6640 Рік тому

    Hello Ryan thank you very much for the awesome lesson. One question, about the 6th note. Is there any theory behind that? I mean it could be 3rd as well right? Or 6th just sounds nice?

    • @RyanMadoraMusic
      @RyanMadoraMusic  Рік тому

      The 6th is part of the major pentatonic scale, so it works well over a major chord as a substitution for using the 3rd. It also stems from a lot of blues/rock/country guitar parts where the guitar moves from playing the 5th to the 6th. Hope that helps!

    Which string do you strike the dead note on. Say you’ve just played the root, the dead note falls on the string of the upcoming 5th?

    • @RyanMadoraMusic
      @RyanMadoraMusic  3 місяці тому +1

      Typically I’d play the dead note on the string of the upcoming note, just before playing the fretted note. It’s not a strict rule by any sorts, but in this type of line I would do it that way.

    Im digging your videos, so I'm not giving you a hard time or anything, but it was actually Skynyrd's version that has become the widely known classic, not Clapton's. ( I didnt even know there was a Clapton version, I'd only heard him doing it live sitting in with Cale, at one the the Crossroads shows.)
