Today's lesson is once again with Marty. Marty is a good teacher and makes things easy to learn. Today we will do the "A" major pentatonic run made simple.

In this lesson, Stefan teaches you how to improvise a slow blues in E. E is always a good cord to learn some blues in because it is an easy cord to progress into some slide, and one of the easy chords to sing in. A lot of songs are in E so you can take something that you learn here and improvise it into another song...

Today's lesson is a nice piece from Jimi Hendrix called Crosstown Traffic. Andy Aledort gives a good lesson on the beginning of this Hendrix tune. It's one that might not be the best for a bar but what a great tune. Although i'm sure that if you whip this out in a bar no one would throw you out...

For today's lesson I thought maybe we should get a lesson from one of the masters. And that master would be Joe Walsh showing some slide in the key of E.  This looks like Joe back in the day before he got sober but none the less as Joe points out a lot of the sound and performance you get out of a guitar is from the strumming hand...

In today's lesson we will indulge on some George Thorogood for non slide players. So if your band would like to play some George and you don't have a slide player this is right up your alley.  Thorogood songs are always good bar songs because they aren't that hard and the crowd always loves a good drinking song...

In today's lesson I thought maybe some old James Gang would fit the bill.  Walk Away was on the James Gangs third and last album with Joe Walsh. The album was called of course Thirds.
