How To Play I'm A Man On Guitar | Bo Diddley Guitar Lesson + Tutorial
Let's break down how to play "I'm A Man" as recorded by Bo Diddley on guitar.
This is a must-know blues riff, and I'm going to show you two different ways of playing it in the key of G.
First I'll show you how you can play the basic riff and how to add a bass note to it with your thumb on your fretting hand. Then I'll show you how you can add hybrid picking in to the mix for a more advanced approach. This riff was used by a ton of famous blues musicians like Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, George Thorogood and more.
