For years, I have heard this classic Chicago blues intro and never knew how to play it.  This is amazingly detailed and easy to follow. You will not believe how your video lessons have improved my playing and motivation to keep learning.

Alex, I think this style and in particular on acoustic lends itself to just how you approached it.  Soloing is more chord based with a minimum of single note playing, and that even is mixed in with chords, bass runs, etc.  throwing in the licks as you say, and do, here and there.

@ray thanks....I really don't have any idea how to approach to this different style...so the sound should be like a kind of up and down putting the accents where I think they should work more? :)

@Alex ... you sound great !!

@Duke....this is just a general attempt tryin to pay respect to the main theme and throwing in some licks that I learned by Corey...I don't know if it's sound good plus I'm not very good in soloing. If you have any suggestion for me It would be really appreciated as I'm not very into about the way to pick the strings, timing in soloing etc!!! thanks for the lesson!! :)
