John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" Intro Lick
Ā
Yes the backing track is a bit cheesy. I'll get you to real blues in good time, but the real blues is not Toontrack's EZ Drummer or MIDI sampled piano fills. So all you Internet trolls, I'm paying a lot of money on web and video hosting just to give this all away. I thought about not posting this lick at all (given my dissatisfaction with the hokey backing track; Sonny Boy Williamson might have said: "Those Internet guitar players want to play the blues so bad.....and they do"), but I'll tell you this track....is not the blues. It's just a lick. Take it for what it is.
Who else wouldĀ be giving you all of this for free
