Messin' With The Kid Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Guitar Lesson + Tutorial
One thing so many players want to be able to do is combine riffs and licks together in their rhythm playing.
When you do, you can take a song that you might typically just strum. And bring it to life in a whole new way.
So today I want to share with you an example of this in the blues standard “Messin’ With The Kid.”
There are just 3 chords. It’s a common blues progression.
But I’ll show you how to strum the chords, play funky rhythms, single-note lines, and riffs all together in one guitar part.
You’ll flow from one approach to the next…
This is the way that I would play behind a singer.. Or also with a rhythm section.
Now this song has been recorded by many artists, including the Blues Brothers.
But today we’ll look at the version as recorded by Buddy Guy & Junior Wells.
It’s a funky up-tempo groove that is a lot of fun to jam on.
