Lucky Lou by Jody Williams Guitar Lesson

Most of this lesson is in open E-- Jody's preferred tuning-- but I refer to fingerings for standard throughout and towards the end. According to many contemporary reports, Jody Williams and Earl Hooker were just about neck and neck for the most creative, exciting electric guitarists in Chicago in the 50s. To me they set the standard for single string lead playing in a Chicago blues context. Many of us remember how exciting it was for Jody to come back in the aughts with his skills intact and lots of fire.
