For those of you who can't make these stretches, if you play it in the key of A, you can utilize open strings and play the first 4 bars using xx7600, xx7700, xx7800 where the x's are strings you don't play, the numbers are the frets of the D and G strings, and you sound the open B and E. Easy!
I know this SRV-run which he used in Hideaway and you are showing at 0:56 - the resolution is rather a xx6566 ( Bb9) than the Bb6 chord you played. Anyway thanks for sharing all the cool stuff.
Glad you enjoyed it. I never sourced this from SRV. I do remember off the top of my head being used on the Four Charms record with Joel Patterson. Also Tiny Grimes uses this quite a bit.
I think right at 2:34 I'm playing a E. struc arp for the Bb. Now right after I'm in the V chord and I'm using the top partial of the C struc. Hope it helps let me know if it doesn't, maybe we hook up through skype. I'm thinking about doing a group lesson through google on jump comping let me know if that would be something you are interested in. thanks
yeah, that's totally cool I use the idea for a lick as well ill tremelo pick the Bb and walk the 3rd up to the 5th. I leave the root (pinky) the same each note on the walk up recieves one to two beats just depends on how I want it tfit into the progression. Awesome though and thanks for commenting. Look forward to hearing from you again
Hey buddy, the arpegio book I use is the George Barnes method. I make some adjustments that seem make sense for me, and works for blues. I have been working on a video and am doing clinics exploring those options if you contact my email I'll send you a short quicktime video of the chord structures I use. Thanks fo the kind words. tommy
I love the tone you get with that p 90 Telecaster or les Paul jr guitar. Dying to know what kind of pickup, amp (vintage Octal amp? Gibson EH? New reproduction) Effects ? Nocturne Jr.Barnyard ? Love that tone. Great stuff
Thx for sharing this! I play some jump blues and about the first lick, I play it a different way cause I got it by listening. So I play it in a "wrong" way but I like it : All the fingers stay on the same fret, just the one on the B string move : D-Eb-E-F it gives you a Bb9 at the end. It's just another idea. Fabien from France
Thanks for clearing up a bunch of things I thought I was playing right, but could never figure out why they sounded a bit off. What is the arpeggio that you do at 2:34 ? That's a very stanard transition that I have never gotten com-pletely right. Thanks
I'm a sax/bass player with limited guitar skills. I have been playing with some rock blues players who are stuck on the V-IV-I turnaround. I am trying to get them to learn ii-V-I Jump Blues turnarounds. They look at me like I'm from another planet! Any tips/tricks I can show them? Maybe you can post a video? I can find lot's of Jazz videos, but they have all kinds of altered chords, nothing simple & bluesy.
Do you teach more Tiny Grimes stuff in your video DVD lesson? I think I understand most of what he does, but there's a couple really need descending/ascendng chord things he does that I'd love to figure out, I'll look them up and give you a couple specific songs and times. I'd be interested in buying your stuff if these are addressed. Thanks for the free lessons - picked up a lot!
My first set of video lessons are really method based and not stylistic except for one segment on bill Jennings. I'm doing a video segment on tiny grimes that will be done before december. Send me the tunes and portions you are interested in and I can make a custom video for ya. I really enjoy your videos as well. Anybody covering mance lipscomb, and tampa red like you is truly a hero in my book.
That would be great. One that I'm trying to figure out is on a tune called "Marchin' Along." It's the 17:42 version, but the lick I'm wondering about is played from :44-:48. I hear him do this a lot, but I can't tell if he's playing a chord progression or some kind of double stop thing on the 3rd and 4th string. I love the Tiny Grimes and Bill Jennings stuff and have learned a lot from your couple videos. Keep the lessons coming - great stuff. I enjoy both electric and acoustic blues, but I also really like the old Western Swing stuff and pre-70s country. I have also learned a lot from your Junior Barnard lessons. He was fabulous! Thanks again!
Old School Blues Guitar I know exactly what you are talking about I'll ship you a short video. Probably today, I need to get cracking after the holiday. That record is great. That tune never gets old, full of ideas and doesn't get boring especially lingering on for 17min. I also like the ideas in Morantini pt 1 and 2.
Hi Tommy - thank you very much, I have just placed the order and I am looking forward to learn some new stuff. Thank you very much for sharing your skills and knowledge!!! Best Regards, Max
Glad I ran into you. Been lazy but now I'm broke and open like in my 20s to learn. You mentioned G. Barnes arpeggio book? Couldn't quite make out the whole title. Love to know the title. Don't know where you hail from or if you come through Cali but, check out Cadillac Zack and the shows he put on in LA. He is on FB
LOL! I can feel your pain. tell the boys to play 2 bars of the V chord. Don't play the IV on the 10th bar stay on the V. That will get em started. The ii and V9 are very similar I'll put up a video for you soon. Also send those knuckle heads over to me if they want some lessons on this. thanks tommy
yeah man, i'll get it off to you today. Let me know if you would be interested in my instructional method. i'll tell you more about them when i email you.
Tommy Hark... You da' MAN...!!! I wanna learn what you know. I hope you got books, CDs and material for me. I'm gonna go check out your web site now.Go see me, type in [ Maso's Blues ] in the "search". Comment.
send me an email tommyharkenrider@yahoo.com. I have a couple books on pdf i can send you. I also teach skype lessons, and have an instructional video series available for sale. thanks, I'm glad you like d the video.
Ooooh my kind of music...God bless you. Few years back I found that all my life I want to play jump blues...
Great how you cover the old greats!
Way above my head lol. Love this style.
If I can help man just let me know
Wow! Some of these chords I know. Some of them, I've been looking for forever. And then to be able to link them all together. Thanks again!
That is the lesson that helped my hope out from giving up (!)
Thanks so much, mr. Harkenrider.
Regards from 🇧🇷
awesome playing man! thanks a lot

Thank you for putting this up! Exactly what I was looking for!
Another awesome lesson Tommy! Very cool chords. I'm gonna work on this too. This adds some nice new flavors I've never played before.
Very cool and nicely demonstrated. Thanks for sharing!

What's the name of the arppegio songbook? I'm interested in the chord chapes for jump blues and the arppegios. By the way your technique is amazing...

loved it
It sounds really great , but too fast for me to follow , even with stop start .
Do you have a TAB for this ?
Thanks
Great video as usual, Tommy. PS Let's not forget about Bill Jennings.
Absolutely not. One of the best
nice lesson, thanks.
No Problem Thank you

Thank you!
Thanks a lot!!!!
Cooler than the other side of the pillow. Nice shirt too brother!

Hi Tommy - thank you very much, I have just placed the order and I am looking forward to learn some new stuff. Thank you very much for sharing your skills and knowledge!!! Best Regards, Max
How can I learn to play like this? (Jump blues). Can you recommend a book?
Glad I ran into you. Been lazy but now I'm broke and open like in my 20s to learn. You mentioned G. Barnes arpeggio book? Couldn't quite make out the whole title. Love to know the title. Don't know where you hail from or if you come through Cali but, check out Cadillac Zack and the shows he put on in LA. He is on FB
Tommy, you call the first chord a "Freddy King" chord...could mention a tune or two that Freddy does that one can here him playing it?
Yeah, check out the break chord in hideaway.
LOL! I can feel your pain. tell the boys to play 2 bars of the V chord. Don't play the IV on the 10th bar stay on the V. That will get em started. The ii and V9 are very similar I'll put up a video for you soon. Also send those knuckle heads over to me if they want some lessons on this. thanks tommy
What scale were you using when you were noodling mate?
I'm using the major and pentaonic scales as they relate to the chords and using grips from the CAGE system. I lump the the c and structures together.
nice!
What George Van Eps book do you speak of?
+Josh Perdue The George Van Eps method for guitar I think it was written in the late 30's
yeah man, i'll get it off to you today. Let me know if you would be interested in my instructional method. i'll tell you more about them when i email you.
Yeah great!...I'll just go do that right now. (puts guitar away for 2 months)
no way man lol!!!
Check it out: ruclips.net/video/d96AvTwexSw/видео.html Joel Paterson uses this idea at the 24:41 mark
He sure does. The Four Charms was one of my favorite bands
Great but please start with the recap first then explain cheers

Your sound is much too dirty.
Well tone is in the ear of the beholder.
How do you get that distorted tone?
It was just the amp man
