Tell Me That You Love Me Jimmy Reed Guitar Lesson by Johnny Burgin

This lesson is a request from a student and I'm glad he brought it up. It's an 8 bar blues that has an extra 2 bars thrown in the first time around. A lot of real down home blues artists add this-- John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, Slim Harpo, and on and on. It also starts with a 12 bar blues intro. To my ears, this has Eddie Taylor on a bass part on guitar, Lefty Bates on the louder, trebly guitar, and I hear Jimmy Reed bumping along in the back. This chat is really mostly about the form with an extra two bars in it, how to add it at your will to give things a downhome flavor, and to give the listener an exta bit of time to smell the roses!
