45 Bonus - April 2024 - Smokestack Lightning Variations
Added 2024-04-29 12:40:30 +0000 UTCFor April's monthly bonus tabs, we've got another blues piece to delve into. This set comprises 8 variations on the iconic "Smokestack Lightning" by Howlin' Wolf, intended for fingerstyle play.
Within these 8 variations, the aim is to demonstrate the creative avenues available when working with any melody. Diversifying your approach can infuse freshness and intrigue into your performance, steering away from monotonous repetition.
Regarding technique, I recommend employing regular Travis picking. Additionally, I recommend using your third finger for the slide between the 3rd and 4th frets, which occurs in every variation.
