Death Don't Have No Mercy: Essential techniques

This is a brief, impromptu video to reinforce a lesson I gave yesterday via Skype.
I often will cut a video upon request as a memory and practice aid for my students. A new technique, a new lick, a new chord form, can be lost to living memory too easily, and a short video like this one seems to be gratefully received and useful.

Every subscriber, regardless of their level of subscription has access to the entire archive of material there. It is not a place where the very wealthy get the cool stuff and everyone else has to make do. Un-American? Yeah, i guess so. But no one ever said that capitalism would render us a civilized society...

Always great to hear you, Sensei. I look forward to exploring these interstitial licks. ❤

Jay, how I love that you use the word 'interstitial.' LIke 'interdigitated' these are elegant words that neatly communicate complex ideas

Beautiful guitar! Can you tell us what you've got there?

This is a 1934 Gibson L-50, a guitar I first heard in Louisiana playing Cajun music brilliantly. I asked my friend who owned it if I might see it, and it sounded more like Robert Johnson’s recordings than any guitar I’d ever played. I asked for first crack at buying it if she ever decided to sell it. The instrument was given a second life by Harry Becker, an amazing friend and brilliantly inventive guitar repairman. It is very handsome, isn’t it?
