Had My Fun Little Walter Guitar Lesson by Johnny Burgin w spec guest Kyle Rowland

This video was sponsored by one of my students. I never tire of looking at all the great guitar parts on the classic Little Walter tunes. And I USE these bass lines, lumps and licks on every gig-- it's real meat and potatoes blues from the golden era before 'guitar heroes' lol.
It was a pleasure to catch up with up-and-coming harp player Kyle Rowland out of Sacramento on my recent California tour. Kyle was mentored at a very young age by James Cotton as well the many excellent CA harp players and is an exciting, dynamic performer. We played a bit of Had My Fun before I go into some of the great Robert Lockwood licks on this tune, as well as some important basics like "sliding ninths" that are really useful for a nice backing flavor. Let me know what you think in the comments-- thanks a lot! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for some Earl King, more Sonny Boy II, and Earl Hooker's Blue Guitar and I Wonder Why.
