Hi, I have been following one of your videos on YouTube for some months and been practicing. I have everything pretty much but my timing is really off and I can't get that 'boogie' timing that you have. I can play at the same speed but when I play it its all a bit of a jumble. Hard to explain without showing you but are there any exercises you recommend to improve time?
Many thanks
Alex, YES. The metronome is your greatest friend. After playing this music for 30 years, I still love practicing with the metronome. This reminds me I need to make a video about how to practice with the metronome. Also, you can try playing along to recordings, using their band/ drummer as the metronome. I recommend Champion Jack Dupree's album "Blues from the Gutter". There are 4 songs in C on there, two of which are slow blues and perfect for using as backing tracks: "Can't Kick the Habit" and "Evil Woman Blues".
