===============================================
When a beginner ventures into Open G for the first time, they usually stick to the open strings, 5th fret and 7th fret. For good reason too. You can barre across all six strings at those frets and you’ll have some very important chords: The 1 chord (open) the 4 chord (5th fret) and the 5 chord (7th fret).
But as you advance a little, you’ll want to start using other tones.
In this lesson, we’ll not only cover a flashy lick that you’ve gotta know, but we’ll cover a 12 bar blues in Open G that uses the all-important flat 7th interval on the 4 and 5 chords. This one small move helps this piece sound bluesy….gritty even.
Have a go at this one and good luck!
Play on!
John

Hello, what strings do you use for slide playing?
Killer!
After a thousand reps, finally send it !
Thank you man
I never thought I’d be getting a guitar lesson from Bill Paxton????
Love the riff and instruction. Learning open g for the first time, it’s a fun challenge!
I love playing this… and actually played it today. It’s so much fun. Thank you and keep them coming!
Really good dude.
Riff sounds like the Melody for Snake Farm by Ray Wylie Hubbard
I’m using this as we speak and it is a flat out jam❤
Loving the sound of this. Just started to learn the tune. Brilliant Channel. Been looking for something like this for ages!! Thanks!
Having a good time with this one! Great lesson
Hey there, it wasn't Shawn James, it was Colter Wall! Another dark and gritty folk singer, but from Canada. Check out 'Sleeping on the Blacktop'. He uses this riff in the chorus bits. I think it was recorded about 6 years ago.
Video called: Original 16 Brewery Sessions – Colter Wall – "Sleeping on the Blacktop"
Does this video pre-date the Shawn James song that uses this riff?
It must do, no-one mentions him in the comments.
I WANT THE TAAAAAAABS!
Grazie per una lezione “ semplicemente” molto efficace ????
Perfect! Thank you
Great lesson, I loved it, a little more decomposition and slower on some parts would have been still better, but I'll keep on following!

Wondering if there’s a tab to this.
Sooo cool! Thank you!
Wow man thank you thank you 3 times thank you!!! I am away from my instruments on holiday at the mo. Hunting through tutorials to keep me sane. When I get back home to Yorkshire I am going give that riff some practice. If I can fit banjo to it I will send a clip.
Brilliant playing and lesson. Many thanks. Cheers, Keith

Awesome! Great tune! Thanks for this one. ???????? but when i play it and someone asks what it is, what do i say? Is this your creation or from an old blues song i haven’t heard yet?
Really enjoyed learning it and it’s gratifying to play. ????✊✨
