Today, we continue on with our blues rhythm playing studies and take a good close look at T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday”.
This is one of those classic progressions that’ll undoubtedly get called up at any blues jam you go to.
Still in a 12 bar format, but with some elevated chord changes and a few jazzy touches, this flavour of the blues tastefully straddles that line between dirty and sophisticated and is bound to take your chord work to the next level!
Classy chord voicings, extensions, alterations, substitutions, movements and essential chordal riffs.. this video has something for all levels!
** The lesson materials include 4 pages worth of neatly typed up examples in TAB and Notation.. guitar pro and PDF formats! **

I never really got the blues – thought it was just 12 bars…repeat. But I really dig this fusion of chord subs and side-steps as you call them. Neat. Your left hand technique is really inspiring as is the right-hand chops. It all just fits together but more impressive to me is your head-on no BS flow. Crackin' and thanks.
Another top-notch tutorial.
Stellar, maestro????????????
Great lesson. Thank-you.
I really love the sound that you're making with that guitar. I'm sure I want to have to listen to this more than once… But I really like it and I subscribe. It's going to take some time.
I like the bigger F7 voicing better.
WOW just a great lesson on one of my favorite songs. Thanks! I loved the chord substitution examples. Really nice.
brilliant lesson of an iconic song stuffed with garage full of bluesology. o and great sound. thankyou!
I am a more advanced blues player and I simply love the techniques, your presentation and pace of it all; you make an assumption of basic chordal knowledge and understanding so the pace is perfect for me. Thank you. Your interpretation and exposure of one of my all time favorite, stormy Monday is simply stunning; reminiscent of Allman Bros, interpretation; remember they were, what, 23 years old when they did their Fillmore East performance: I was there!!!
I cant be with my student back home. Its so nice to be able to recommend your vids.
Stunningly beautiful guitar!
My goal is to play stormy monday exactly like this ❤
I knew this channel was right in my wheelhouse then Alex drops in a Quantum Physics Roger Penrose chord sub joke. Chapeau sir.
Superb lesson, really.
Great job! Thanks my man.
Fantastic playing and complexity exploded into understanding, a little insomnia popped you on my screen. This is my goal sound, you got it.
1st time viewer of your channel.
Top shelf educator.
Never thought id catch names like carl sagan in guitar????
Ill be back
Ah! That D7#9 to D7b9 sounded very familiar – and of course it would because that's exactly what Gilmour does in Breathe! ???? "All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be" going from Fmaj to G to D7#9 and D7b9. Alex, I truly appreciate all the knowledge you share with us and I enjoy learning from you! It's a true pleasure picking up my Tele and improving my skills with each new lesson you post!
Kudos.. great lesson , straight to the point . I started, years ago, my study of the blues… never stopped, I still suck at playing but at least I keep on trying. T bone is one of the greatest. Classy. Cheers from Italy ????????. Blues on
Fantastic stuff. I learned a lot today. God job man !
one of the very few YT guitar vids that i've taken the time to sit down and really study.
One of the best lessons I have ever seen. Fantastic value for money. ????
Super job ,that cover of stormy Monday cream did on
the reunion gig..Eric really sang out of his socks ..
but i honestly love your take on voicing the chords
as you have ,that`s really where it at ????????thank you.
Yeah….great chords played with feeling ????????
Please, please, please.. don’t EVER change anything regarding how you lay out these tutorials/lessons! I have watched thousands of videos and yours are high, high up in logical, thorough explanations and demonstrations. Keep ‘em coming, sir! Great, Great Job & Beautiful playing, as well!! Kudos!!!
Fantastic video. Just brilliant
One of my favorite jam songs. Thanks for some new substitutions to try.
what chord is that right after he describes his guitar? F,B,E,A#,D…my guitar chord app comes up null set.
That Cm7 doesn sound well, C7 fits better imo
Excellent teaching!
Give us a smile or a laugh once in a while.
Wonderful video and content brother ???????? just an amazing job as always, best to you and yours
The PayPal link doesn’t work
This is really explanatory; the infusion of jazz chords changes boredom into interest, This was well done.
Beautiful
Well that is my study framework sorted for some time (not that I'm short of things I need to study on the guitar) thanks Alex ….a very valuable lesson for me.
Woo!!!
Great stuff…. I shall return for more. Cheers.
I've always loved this piece and you do a great job of explaining and demonstrating it in a way I can understand. Thanks.
All your lessons have been great. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Xlnt lesson!!! Appreciated learning how to embelish my rhythm playing. Now I need to work on my spelling.
"Lord have Mercy.. Lord, have mercy on me.." Dude! Thank you for this, was meant to play and sing this..
Your honey smooth tone shames many YouTube instructors. ????
Fantastically clear tuition. Great stuff! ????
I like your blues playing and your fabulous Novo guitar ????
Good stuff you just delivered. Gland I found it.
I SERIOUSLY doubt you're going to fade into obscurity… between you and David Hamburger there's no longer any excuse for not knowing everything on the guitar
Is that Lady Day in the background ? I just made a connection for the first time ever – Stormy Monday and Fine and Mellow
???? nothin better to do ????
so damned good ????
