Lightnin's Sky Hop Guitar Lesson by Johnny Burgin

I might be preaching to the choir when I talk about how devastating and exciting this song is.
A lot of you probably recognize this as a granddaddy to "Rude Mood" by SRV.
I broke this down into smaller pieces. It's a three part song with a boogie beginning (E position, pitchwise it's in F so I used a capo rather than retune the guitar). That part is doable even at Lightnin's breakneck tempo. This is a good thing to practice with the thumbpick and finger.
The second part is not exactly 16 bars, on one chord. It's like a jet runway! The first half is just based around the E shape chord, and then it takes off into some leads, either at the 13th fret or on the lower notes in a really ballsy way. Then the last half is like a buckdance or something, a danceable theme that Lightnin used again and again, to wrap it up. He goes through this set of three three times. Have fun!
