Hot Licks

2008
(instructional DVD)
 
with:
Matt Abts - Drums

Warren teaches the Country Blues of Son House and Robert Johnson,
different slides for different sounds, open tuning licks in G and E tunings,
using vibrato to correct pitch, damping for a cleaner sound,
Muddy Waters' standard tuning style,
switching off between the slide and fingers,
'call and response' improvisation and so much more.
As an extra bonus, many of the examples are illustrated
with Warren's band, Gov't Mule.
