From time to time we get to play in a trio situation.
There's no keyboard, no rhythm guitar player,
it's just you and your guitar, bass and drums.
Well, there's a challenge there on how to play the blues
but accompany yourself at the same [Bm] time.
And the reason you're gonna play chords behind yourself
is so that the listener and the rest of the people
in the band hear the harmony.
The structure makes sense to them.
So you're gonna play your blues licks,
but at times you're gonna play some chords
to say, ah, we're here on the four chord.
Now the lick, now we're back at the one chord.
So I'm gonna give you some examples of that
and let's roll the tape.
