This is how to teach: the man is calm, no boom boom background noise, he speaks clear English, no "actually" disease and he teaches both music and theory very well. Thank you very much!

Great lesson! I'm nearly 80. In 1964, I saw Bobby Bland and his band play live. Wayne Bennett guitar. I stood by the stage and watched him. Made eye contact. Never forgot that moment.

Very nice!

I've noticed a format in many of Adrian's videos: "I'm not particularly a XXXX guitarist, but I do enjoy playing it a bit." Proceeds to knock it out of the park in a style he doesn't even specialize in. You are a great guitarist.

I can only imagine the time and effort that went into the scholarly breakdown of this blues classic. IMHO, if you're looking for ideas on what approach to take on this tune, you just found the best single source of info available anywhere. Amazing job, thank you!!!

Dude, you are really good at this KZread thing. I constantly recommend your channel.

My word, such a beautiful and iconic song and you do it absolute justice because of course you do. Superbly done, Adrian, thank you!

Thanks for all you do. You really are the complete package; you're a great player and a great teacher.

You really played this beautifully

Nice..... I've been playing the Allman's version on Live at the Fillmore East since 1971..... I'm that old and still play it today.....well done Adrian as always

My favorite from Filmore Album!

The University of Adrian. What a fantastic lesson in the history and evolution of Stormy Monday.

Allman Brothers made me love this one!

Bobby Bland's guitarist for the song was Wayne Bennett, actually a trained jazz guitarist.

Wayne Bennett is a very underrated player! Worth listening to his fills & soloing here. Makes this my favourite version.

This lesson is an incredible treat. What an absolutely must-know blues standard! I love the T-Bone Walker original, but perhaps my favorite is the Bobby Bland version.

Been trying to learn the Bobby Bland and Allman Brothers for years. Thanks for your video post.

It’s really interesting to see how this song has evolved. All of these versions are terrific. Just great chord voicings. Well thought out as usual Adrian. Thanks for doing.

Always been partial to the allman brothers version but your teaching and playing the original version is very classy thanks Sir!

Really great. Loved the way you outlined how it eveolved through those there versions.

Such a great song and thank you for the fantastic break down of it.

Thank you so much Adrian! Great video as always. This is just what I needed to help progress my jazz/blues chord playing. The song Stormy Monday seems to cover so much ground in jazz/blues. It should also be a great backing to help me solo better. Great tone by the way!

Wayne Bennett is the guitar player on the Bobby Bland version.

Another great lesson Adrian. I learned to play this by listening to the three versions you mention. One trick I always add to my solo is playing a note on the B string and then bending up the G string to the same note. Everybody thinks it's a Chuck Berry lick but he borrowed it from T-Bone Walker 😉

Great lesson, as usual. Thanks so much for your time and attention!

Really fantastic way to approach this tune, taking it through these three iconic iterations, seeing how each builds on the last. Whence one has wrapped their fingers around all these approaches the sense of mellow mastery pervades… Love it. Thanks as always.

All 3 are wonderful. Thx Adrian...beautifully played.

Great lesson and some tasty tips/tricks for this and similar progressions. Looking forward to practicing and jamming with this soon, thanks!

Fantastic lesson as always. Thanks!!

That was a fantastic example! Albert Collins and T Bone Walker would be proud of you.

Outstanding breakdown and lesson Adrian, thank you!

Played this for so many years as a ‘slow down’ # for our 2hr frat circuit set… Out of all the covers we had to play, this was always one of my favorites… We did the Allman’s version from the Filmore. So so so good… I respected it so much It’s one where I always played the solos note for note… until the end where we ramped it up and ripped it… which was prolly sacrilege, but hey they were frat shows in the 90’s… I’m surprised we got away with playing it at all. For their version, we did the progression a bit different towards the end…. from the G9 after the double IV we went to Am7, Bm7, passing Bfm7, D9, Cm, G9… augmented 5 for turn. So so much fun!

Thank you, thank you, it might be Stormy Monday but you just made my Friday!👍🎸🇨🇦

This is great Adrian. Just been working on something similar so the timing is perfect. Thanks heaps.

Incredible play and lesson. Subscribed.

Thank You, Adrian! I have played 'Stormy Monday' on guitar, bass, and as the vocalist, for over 40 years. Like most Blues renditions, I know I never played it the same way, twice. Greatly appreciate your deep dive into the original, BBB's version, and the ABB. You've provided me an opportunity to revisit and try new things with this song which, I'm sure, will ultimately result in more ways to incorporate these ideas into my own versions. I've been subscribed for some time, and I always check out your new content. Last but now least, I'm listening to ZT as I write this! Nice Work!! Thanks Again!!!

This is where my feeble attempt to learn jazz guitar comes in handy! I can't play jazz, but I can play a lot of these chord types.

Hello, the Wayne Bennett guitar version of the song done by Bobby Bland is actually a jazz adaptation of blues with the 3 note slur or slide between the chords. Simple but beautiful.

Best teacher on the net! Thanks for all of it.

Thanks Adrian! Great lesson!💯🎸

Fantastic playing and thank you!

Nice work! Can’t wait to dive into this.

Very inspiring lesson, down to the point with no adultaration what so ever. Thanks

Not a blues expert? But a TERRIFIC blues player. Been watching your videos from 5-10 years ago and still learning, despite playing for 40 years. I particularly enjoyed your lesson "How to Mix Rhythm & Lead in a 12 Bar Blues". If anyone hasn't seen it, it's a must.

Phenomenal lesson here!!!

This is such a thoughtful and well produced video. It has been so helpful to me. My bassman recently suggested we do it but i couldnt find alot of resources on the T Bone version. Thank you for this and I love that Les Paul btw.

I have seen many tutorials on this, but i'm looking forward to your take on it and trying it out

This is FANTASTIC. As a blues staple, knowing this and playing it with feeling and soul is crucial to being an informed and capable guitarist. Thanks for a well paced, clear and engaging lesson.

outstanding! Great tone!

love it, great tone.... love it

Thank you excellent unpacking of these three versions of this classic song and will help me immensely in spicing up the rhythm for this song.

Love this lesson :) Just Great Stuff !!!

Fab lesson. Very enjoyable. Great format and presentation. Will be digging deeper into you vlogs. Thank you......

Brilliant lesson - thank you!

Great Teacher, Really clear, very educational/ helpful AND Cool

Eric Clapton performed quite an inspiring version when The Cream reunited at the Albert Hall in 2005!

Hey I really like that guitar tone !

when you played the whoke tune in the begsing i closed my eyes and i was listing to a master blues musician it sounded nice wow factor 100%..RocknRollFlat5

Nice!

Wayne Bennett was Bobby Blue Bland’s guitar player.

Wow that was good

Hi Adrian, thanks for the lesson. I’ve known the Allman Bros version for as long as i can remember. Next month i’ve got a jazz gig playing the tune with more of a Eva Cassidy feel. I hate how much I love the sound of your Les Paul, it’s giving me gear envy! Stay well

Nice looking guitar.

Please move to Wicklow. I prefer in person lessons. ( Brilliant, clear easy to follow explanations, well done Lad!)

Lovely lovely stuff with all the techincal stuff and all that jazz... Now, if you could (like only you can) give me some idea or insight into the madness/genius that is the one and only Hound Dog Taylor that would be very much appreciated. I know he wasn`t the most technical but holy heck did he have tone, feel, mojo and quikyness

Albert king did a good stormy monday. Think he did it in the sessions with SRV too.

Hi Andy, wonderful as always. Can you enlighten me on your tone? It’s very sweet indeed. Thanks.

This classic Blues song has a couple of really classic players, Leslie West/Mountain - Allman Brothers. I recommend checking out the Mountain version, it is very different to Allman Bros, and Leslie West offers us some soulful guitar playing, cheers.

I just listened to a Mountain version of the song, on your recommendation. It's not bad but it bears little resemblance harmonically and rhythmically to what Adrian is teaching here. Mountain's is sort of the Bamm-Bamm version of the tune.

wow1 THANK'S

Wonderful. And is it just me or is this one of those classic blues songs where you can't seem to go wrong on the solo? As long as I stay major and minor pentatonic, it's like the phrasing just flows out of my fingers.

Tasty. ABB version has awesome leads, but your own is pretty nice. Good job... Duane Allman and Dickey Betts's leads are so tasteful because they flip between Gminor and Gmajor pentatonic scales.

I think the key to blues soloing is going back and forth between those scales and the transitions between one to the other - have to say listening to Clapton taught me that much - quite a "a ha!" moment.

@@southbranchdaddy yes, but I think nobody did it better than Duane. Listen to all his studio sessions with such a wide range of artists and styles.

This is a fine effort on your part , Thanks , however.. The first Time I heard " Stormy Monday " was from Muddy Waters Live at Mr Kellys 1971. When The guys at the Jam said lest do stormy Monday I thought I knew it but Muddy's version is just straight 12 bar with no going to the 2 and whatnot. I think BB King also did it that way. I have never liked the more traditional versions. I would rather hear Muddy do it.

Very nice 👏 Like deployed 👍 😎🎙🎸✅️

Anyone know what the turnaround is in the play through of the T-bone walker version?

if stormy monday `😎blues` was pancake mix, the jazz ingredient could get over-egged😉

Adrian, I have a request. Stop me if you think that you’ve heard this one before, by The Smiths.

The "T-Bone and Wayne Bennett Versions" are the ONLY Correct Versions of this song. Rock-Blues Wannabees play "The Almond Version!" Thanks for setting a Much Better Example.

My previous comment remids me to ask; have you any idea how Frank Zappa, and his son, Dweezil, play the guitar, cuz, I haven't.

Is that a new guitar?
