Lesson transcript

Music Lesson: Slipping and Dripping

We'll slow it down again a little bit and do that first one we did, Slipping and Dripping.

Now, on the CD West Coast Blues, when I play that, I'm actually tuning down a half step to E flat to get it really slippy, slidy, kind of like Lightning did.

Many of Lightning's tunes are tuned down.

I'm going to stay in standard tuning right now and do Slipping and Dripping, a funky rendition.

Kenny Sultan

Kenny Sultan is a best-selling author of music books and instructional videos covering blues guitar, and is the guitarist in a blues duo with Tom Ball.

Together and separately they have worked on countless film scores, TV soundtracks, commercials and sessions. They've appeared on television internationally, were featured on the “Levi's 501 Blues” commercials, have played for audiences of 300 million via Voice of America and are frequent guests of National Public Radio. They've shared the stage with the likes of Bob Dylan, Stevie Ray Vaughan, The Allman Brothers, Joe Bonamassa, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Elvis Costello, and the list is long...

At home wherever they go, Tom and Kenny fit in at blues, folk, bluegrass and jazz festivals, and their extensive teaching backgrounds make them a natural choice for college campuses or venues that feature workshops. Because their music is a blend of American roots styles, they are regulars overseas, drawing rave reviews.

That same teaching pedigree is what you tap into here. Kenny guides you into traditional blues guitar from the ground up - fingerpicking patterns, alternating bass, turnarounds and the classic licks that define the style - so you build a real repertoire of authentic acoustic blues you can actually play.

“Stupendous playing.” --Blues Revue
“As good as anyone in acoustic blues.” --Sing Out
