Watch the C Smooth online guitar lesson by Gil Parris from NYC Rhythm & Blues

This tune was the first song of the evening played with sax player Baron Raymonde's band. The tune is essentially a funky, slow minor blues with an interesting turnaround. I'll talk a bit about rhythm guitar textures, wah playing, doubling the melody, and some essential voicings.
Gil plays a Reverend Charger HB guitar in all of his lessons. Here's specs and contact info:
Although the obvious choice for thick rock tones, this is no one-trick pony. The bridge pickup is slightly hotter than a vintage PAF, and the neck pickup slightly cleaner. Easily covers clean to mean.
The solid wood top (not veneer or plywood) and basswood body with strategically placed tone chambers guarantee a resonant, light, and lively instrument that responds to the player's touch.
