Lockdown jam on some Doobie Brothers for Tele Tuesday


This a song that I learned many years ago when I went to a guitar evening class. A room full of blokes (do not remember any ladies) would learn a song each week from our teacher who was rather good and had a lovely old Gibson SG. Evening classes can be a relatively cheap form of tuition compared to one on one private lessons. I did a piano one and a jazz improvisation course too. When I last looked there did not seem to be music courses, just regular academic stuff. That is a shame, but may the result of government cuts.

I tried playing the song again this week and had to look up the chords. They are fairly simple and it sounded good on my Benford Telecaster. So why not record a video for #TeleTuesday?

As usual I used my Boss looper on the solo part, but had some finger trouble around then. This is after a few failed takes. It rarely works out first time. I could record it all and mime, but I prefer to play it 'live'.

This is just messing around, so do not expect a great performance. Just another #LockdownJam I need to learn the words as I may perform at the next local on-line open mic.

Rock on!
