David, thank you. Wonderful demo of the drop D tunning. Songs like "Married man's a fool" show Cooder using this same Bass line swing principle. Cooder dances those Bass notes that alternate on the beat, off beat & back beat the way you have indicated. A great sound on electric or accoustic guitars. Dynamic rhythms when other notes are recorded & tracked in addition. Once again YOU are the man who explains this very effectively. 👍 Tks, Jim
Found this by accident but I love Ry Cooder’s early stuff and this gave some great I sight into the sound. Thank you, I will have fun playing around with this!
You might want also want to check out David's UA-cam lessons on "Tamp 'Em Up Solid" and "Comin' in on a Wing and a Prayer," plus the video called "Ry Cooder Rhythm Guitar Trick."
Hi David - thanks for that lesson. One of my favourites by Ry Cooder. Do you know what's the origin of that tune or who did the first recording? Also thanks for the head's up on the new Mike Bloomfield biography (your newsletter) - always been a huge fan of his acoustic playing.
You're welcome on both counts :-). There seem to be two ways to do the tune: the old-timey way, as exemplified by, say, the New Lost City Ramblers, and the Ry Cooder way (for ex., clearly the influence behind the Bad Livers version, among many others). I'd imagine both strains can be traced back to some pre-war recordings/sources, but I haven't completely done my homework on all that yet :-).
Unlocking the mysteries of the Ry Cooder sound! Awesome!! Great lesson thanks very much!
Great instruction, going to try this out after work today. Thanks for all the great material you put out
