Yes! This feels like Chicago to me. If you aren't there just yet, you are getting damn close!
Great job Silvije!

I'm going to revisit this again.

Thanks for sharing your playing. I like your guitar too.

Beautiful playing!
I hear the blues!
Great blues thread indeed!

Keep working!
Try without a metronome and play it super slow.
Especially turnaround, please watch out how much left fingers pressure!
Use less as you can! Do not press anything hard! Soft as you can.

One more.
That bend note on 2nd string.... bend up close to Major 3rd and do not drop that pitch once you bend. That's why I suggest you to practice this really slow!

Thank you.

Thank you Kurt. I felt timing is iffy at times and those large fret jumps are tricky. Plus what Tomo advised. Work, work, work ahead. Guitar is cheap 100$ Bullet Strat, sound comes from amp sim (as i cant play through amp, small flat, night, wife, kid, neighbors,...forgot which preset). Thanks again.

Thank you Tomo. Trying my best. Will try and follow your advice to make it better. Loving the lessons and approach. Looked at your Santana Europa lesson on YT today, i enjoyed playing that chord progression, have to learn the lead line intro at least...Thank you, Tomo.

My pleasure! I am so happy to hear you play this!

Great song! That's very important song!

Thank you!

I'm on a Freddie King binge. I think i have all his recordings on CD.

I loved when Freddie King would talk to the crowd.
"This is the Blues! Are you listening?"

By the way, Freddie's only STUDIO version of Sweet Home Chicago (the lick Silvije and you demonstrate) is on the Freddie King 1934-1976 album. Most of that important album has previously unreleased stuff. I think Pack It Up and Sugar Sweet were only recordings that were released previously. (on Burglar album).
Kurt

So great to hear that!

I love that version on "1934-1976" record!

Thank you for sharing!

Tomo

Thank you Johno for sharing this!
I totally forgot about this video!

Actually that's good case!
Set your amp loud enough so if you pick slightly harder then you wake somebody up!
That was one of my technique to improve picking dynamics (for single note) I did that for a few years.

Thank you.

Tomo

Thank you.

Tomo

Great one! Old style and so cool!
Some triads too!

Now you can copy that!

Thanks for sharing Kurt!
