    Your playing and feel here is absolutely stellar! Voodoo Child (No Slight Return) Vibes! So cool 😎 Will gives me hours of practice getting it to flow freely I think. Thanks Tom!

    Bravo! Great lesson and performance.

    I think Muddy Water's version was called Rolling Stone, which is where the Rolling Stones got their name. This riff has been adapted and used in many songs including Jimi Hendrix's Voodoo Chile

    You're right, Pilgrim. I'm eighty years old, and I'm playing that riff like I'm Muddy Waters in a bad mood, and I'm so happy.

    Here's one version of the lyrics ... RIP, Muddy!
    "Well, I wish I was a catfish
    Swimmin' in the deep blue sea
    I'd have all you women
    Fishin' after me
    Fishin' after me
    Fishin' after me
    Well, I'm broke and I'm hungry
    Ragged and I'm dirty too
    Well, if I clean up, baby, can I
    Stay home with you
    Stay home with you
    Stay home with you
    If I can't, can't come in
    Let me sit down front of your door
    I'll leave so early, your
    Mom won't know
    Won't never know
    Won't never know
    Oh, I know, know my baby
    Well, she's going to jump and shout
    When my train pulls in and I
    I come walkin' out
    Come walkin' out
    Come walkin' out
    Yes, I'm goin', babe I'm goin'
    And your crying won't make me stay
    Oh, the more you cry, baby
    More I'll go away
    More I'll go away
    More I'll go away
    Well now I know, I know you don't want me
    Why in the world won't you tell me so?
    Then I won't be caught, baby, 'round
    Your house no more
    Your house no more
    Your house no more"

    Hi Tom! an other Tom (Tomas) here, at 11:03 no need for 2 finger to do bend if you use 0.8 or even 0.7 strings (like Billy F Gibbons). The bend is easy with Gibson length scale (24.75″) or more easy with PRS (Santana signature 24,5'') and so on ... (Fender Jaguar and Mustang 24''). But if you stick with strato ok, put some light string an make your live easyest.
