Messin' With The Kid Buddy Guy & Junior Wells Guitar Lesson + Tutorial

One thing so many players want to be able to do is combine riffs and licks together in their rhythm playing.

When you do, you can take a song that you might typically just strum. And bring it to life in a whole new way.

So today I want to share with you an example of this in the blues standard “Messin’ With The Kid.”

There are just 3 chords. It’s a common blues progression.

But I’ll show you how to strum the chords, play funky rhythms, single-note lines, and riffs all together in one guitar part.

You’ll flow from one approach to the next…

This is the way that I would play behind a singer.. Or also with a rhythm section.

Now this song has been recorded by many artists, including the Blues Brothers.

But today we’ll look at the version as recorded by Buddy Guy & Junior Wells.

It’s a funky up-tempo groove that is a lot of fun to jam on.
