Take Out Some Insurance Jimmy Reed Lesson

I'm continuing with my 'back to basics' repetoire theme. Here's a song that everyone ought to know if you play blues. It's been covered by so many folks, including Tony SHERIDAN and the Savage Beatles-- I mis-spoke in the video and called him Tony Flanagan! This is a good one to learn to get a handle on different blues forms. It has a 4 bar intro, then two 16 bar verses and an 8 bar bridge. If these forms are new to you then I think you'll find this lesson helpful. Learning how to lead a band through a song like this well will help you figure out other tunes with different forms on the fly, at blues jams or on gigs. The basic Jimmy Reed guitar patterns and interplay are all here and the better you can master them, the more groove you will bring to this style of music.
