Blues Legend's 6-Word Advice Changed My Entire Approach to Music

Blues Legend's 6-Word Advice Changed My Entire Approach to Music 🎸 Free Guitar Lessons: https://jimmydillon.com/free Sharing some acoustic blues today, capo'd up to play in G minor (third fret). Over the years, my voice has naturally dropped, and this key really works for me now. This reminds me of a meaningful encounter I had with the legendary John Lee Hooker when I recorded a duet with him in my late 30s/early 40s. John Lee shared some profound wisdom with me, saying "Jim, I do the hell out of John Lee Hooker." Coming from someone who overcame tremendous challenges during the Jim Crow era to become a blues icon - selling millions of records with "Boogie Chillen" in the 50s and later collaborating with greats like Bonnie Raitt, Carlos Santana, and Van Morrison - these words stuck with me. His message was simple but powerful: be true to yourself. While we all sometimes need to do covers to make a living, I always try to make them authentically mine, putting my own spin on them. Join me for some acoustic blues in G minor, though it'll look like E minor with the capo.
