Eddie Taylor Big Town Playboy Guitar Lesson by Johnny Burgin

I've done several lessons on the great Eddie Taylor. But I really should have started with this one! This has some of his best licks one after the other in the position of A. It's his biggest record and it really sums up his style maybe more than any other single song. I like the way it doesn't even have a four bar intro, he just launches into it with his nose-to-the-grindstone driving lump. Then his guitar comments on the vocals are just blistering. Luckily for us there are TWO guitar solos, that's pretty unusual for a record from this time period! The second one seems to be a refinement of the first one-- it's interesting to see the process. I'd love to read your comments about ET if you were fortunate enough to know him or see him in person. Try this with thump and fingerpicks to get closer to the percussive attack and the way the rhythms of his leads and fills work against the lump (shuffle) rhythm.
