Thanks, Paddy. Although I am no where near the skill level to play this, I am persevering to learn the blues for my own enjoyment. I love the theory even though my 70 year old fingers tend to protest!

Hey Paddy..my name is Michael(Slim) from Spacecoast Florida and have been watching hour tutorials for a couple years now and love the teaching style you have..my favorite player has always been James Booker who i met in New Orleans back in 1978 at the Maple Leaf..i was attending junior college there for a couple semesters and tried my best to get up close and watch his left hand which was phenomenal..i cant seem to pick up on that Booker style left hand where he breaks the 10ths down in between and throws in a bounced off two fingered Sixth(two half chords) to get back to the root..G in the case of your one Booker tutorial..can you please do another videos dissecting this hand/chord movement just a weee bit slower..im sure that then i could conceptualize how the timing for me could work better!!..at your merciful convience please..youre the only one on KZbin that demonstrates Booker the best!!..if you can demo some easy ways to "OCTAVATE" The right hand while doing these left handed syncopations i would be indebted to you for life!!..lol..thanks teacher! and happy trails

This is fantastic Paddy; I've been looking for more advanced new orleans, Booker/dr john/jon cleary-style tutorials on youtube but they are hard to come by! Please keep them coming, thanks!

My hand is too short to play the left part ...

You can roll a 10th up from bottom to top. It changes the rhythm slightly but can sound great for those of us who can't stretch the whole length at once.

@@bluecat88 Yeah I guess that's a good workaround. I also cannot play 10ths.
