HOOKER BLUES

This is a simple introduction to a John Lee Hooker type tune using the rootsy sounds of open A tuning. It sounds just as effective in open G with a capo on second fret if you don't want tune your strings that high.The shuffle style of the open sequence should be played fairly tight, and the off beat chords clipped, with fret hand muting to create the Hooker flavour. Bar 5 uses his classic IV chord device the D7 played as if you using a C chord shape in regular tuning. This should be played with a mix of open and muted sound. To break up the rhythm I've used a typical Hooker pattern in bar 9, sliding triplets and riff. Also, there is another classic triplet riff in bar 13. This kind of accompaniment can quite easily ramble on with no urgency to change chords, and is a great way to emulate the Hooker sound. This tune featured as an exercise in my course, 'Hooker Blues'.
