What are your favorite lessons from Adam's store? I have so many. But mine would probably be:
John Lee Williamson's Blues
Going Back South
What I'd say
I've put in so many hours mastering the tongue-blocked rhythms in John Lee Williamson's blues and What I'd say. And I can say that those lessons have taken me to a whole new level. It's really improved my chops for heavy octave playing.
For the first time I can really start to dig into Little/Big Walter's playing. These lessons have truly improved my hearing too. It's amazing how I now notice many TB subtleties.
It's one of those moments where I knew what the greats were doing sounded expressive and cool. Now I can identify the nuts and bolts of why it sounds so cool.
Thanks again Adam!!
I would love more advanced-intermediate lessons in this vein. I think you've brought hundreds of people through the advanced-beginner and beginning-intermediate stages. And many of us advanced-intermediates are ready for more, haha. This site is such a blessing.

Jeff,
Going Back South for me I love the Isiah Ross sound.
All the lessons I have are good in their own way, the early stuff for beginners I found really useful, especially learning to fill in the 'gaps' with rhythm

Chris, aside from Adam's lessons on the da-da ta-ta rhythm, Jason Ricci shows you how to create fills with chordal vamps in this video:

It's awesome for boogies and shuffles - especially after a few songs where the da-da ta-ta rhythm can get a little repetitive and stale for the listener. Vamps are a little more upbeat and punchy when you need that type of sound.
