These tracks gave me some awesome ideas. They are from the library of tracks that Pete Anderson made for Guitar Center’s King of the Blues competition from this past year, of which I was also a contestant. Although blues calls for a certain “type” of player, there are a few players over the past year that i’ve studied that have adapted more of a jazz flare to standard blues progressions. Since 7th chords open themselves up to so many possibilities, it’s easier for me to make decisions on the guitar that I end up enjoying. I will always like a flat 7. Flat 7 is MY number.
This is great lick because you only have to learn Two Chord Forms – and you can extend it out over 12 – 24 bars! Big rewards for just a little work! In the Key of C, and the forms can be used over C, F, G, even D for instant solo work. Got the first part from an Albert Lee instructional set. Played on a B-Bender Telecaster through a Dr. Z Amp.

This year the JHB had the honor of closing the festival with a blistering Sunday twilight set outside. Here’s a killer slow bluz instrumental that was one of the highlights of his show and the festival. Tone to the bone on this one and some relatively rare slide. Even Solon looks like he’s diggin’ it Sorry Cody, couldn’t get your face in the video again. Buy the new CD and support this accomplished band. Johnny said they may be coming back to Texas soon………bring it on, we need more.
This one is all about speed twang! Here is a preview and a couple more freebie licks! It’s 5:45 long so it may take a while to download or stream. You can find all of Forrest Lee Jr’s instruction videos on Ebay or at www.OutWestRecords.com
