Hi John, hope you remember me. I took lessons from you in athens. Just wanted to say hi and update you on my progress. I now play in a motown (r&b) cover band called Dwight wilson and classic city soul. I started out playing some rhythm guitar but now i’m playing the bass. I still follow your website and lessons, i think they are great. You have opened so many doors for me that gave me the confidence to know i could accomplish my dreams of playing with a live band. I’m 56 now, don’t give up on your dreams. Thanks alan P.S. let me know if you ever play or come to athens. I see your friend big c all the time

John, do you still publish the tabs for the podcast lessons? If so, how do I find them.
Thanks

  At this time no. I reserve all the tabs for the paid lessons.

Cool. Now that you say Peter Green, the riff is similar to the opening of “Someday after a while” when green was a blues breaker.

Do you like Mick Taylor? He was awesome in the bluebreakers and the stones. Superb player and sweet vibrato too.

Last question: what was the volume level on the Maxon OD?

  It was about 40%. I’ve never really sat down and tried to learn any Mick Taylor licks but he’s a great guitarist.

Great riff but once again the tone is amazing.

Question: how loud is the amp when you do these lessons? I struggle to get tone like this at a low volume…

  Thanks. I was kinda going for a modern Peter Green type sound. The amp was on 4 but I was also using a Weber attenuator to lower the volume even more. The Maxon OD 808 really smooths out the tone as well.
