Today we combine a couple of my favourite things.. Motown/Soul & Blues chops with The Beatles! We use the classic “Don’t Let Me Down” as a framework for exploring a ton of great rhythm and lead ideas and fills, as well as taking a brief jazzy blues solo in the middle!
We focus mostly on double stops, octaves and the Major pentatonic scale in this lesson, so buckle in and enjoy the ride for the next 20 minutes! Cheers!
Lesson materials include TAB/Notation in Guitar Pro and PDF formats, as well as my backing track and a transcription of all the Major scale and Pentatonic double stops covered in this lesson!.. a real bumper pack of stuff to dig into over and over again!
As always, stick around til the end for gear talk and recommended listening 👌🏻
