Announcement: BluesGuitar.com Releases “Learn How to Play Stormy Monday in the Style of The Allman Brothers - Blues Guitar Lesson”
(PRWEB) February 19, 2014 -- Stormy Monday was originally recorded by T Bone Walker but the version Jon teaches in this lesson is the Allman Brothers version. MacLennan demonstrates the song as follows: first, he plays the root note, G, with his thumb on the 3rd fret of the 6th string which he strums twice. Next, he frets the 3rd fret of the 4th string with his 2nd finger, 2nd fret of the 3rd string with his first finger and 3rd fret of the 2nd string with his 3rd finger which he strums once and slides the chord shape up one whole step and then back down. “That’s basically a G9 chord,” says MacLennan. Next he moves the whole shape up to the 8th fret, C, and repeats the sequence and then moves up to the 10th fret, D, and repeats the sequence again. Finally, Jon plays the whole chord progression. Guitar TAB’s are available for this blues lesson at BluesGuitar.com.
