Drunken-Hearted Man - Robert Johnson

Picture
"Drunken-Hearted Man" is a superb example of how Robert handled playing in Drop D tuning. His unexpected, syncopated rhythms, intros, turnarounds, and chords are worthy of adding into anyone's 'lick toolbox.' In particular, his admiration of Lonnie Johnson is evident in this song with the use of some surprising chord movements. I've meticulously tabbed out exactly what Johnson is doing and show you this step-by-step, clearly explaining every nuance and lick.

ADDITIONALLY --  you'll expand on this song with the ton of additional licks and phrases which I'll also show you. This will move you beyond just copying the song to someone who can be creative with it as well, which will ultimately improve your overall playing and musicianship.

You'll learn:
• The unique chords that Johnson used
• Johnson's use of double-stop triplets
• The oddest turnaround of all
• Lonnie Johnson's jazzy licks and how to add them to this song
• Interesting ways to play a G chord in Drop D tuning.
There are a total of 8 movies and 3 pages of tab chock full of licks.


Here are what the movies look like:

I'll even coach you via email.
