Again this one's suitable for later in the fretless course, a classic swing feel. |

It Hurts Me Too |
 |
advanced |
An 8 bar slow blues from Elmore James, probably the most influential slide player of the 1950's. The licks in this intro represent the foundation of his playing and countless players after him. They can be played on a 3 string although you do have to have your slide working well. |

On The Road Again |
 |
EZ |
The classic John Lee Hooker riff in a Canned Heat tune from the late '60's. The main thing to get right with this one is your right hand. This is a great tune to practice those Hooker boogies, a shuffle with a s sharp staccato back beat. |
EZ, 3 string, blues, song |

The fewer the strings, the less options you have for notes to pick, that's just how it is. When it comes to phrasing however there's no limit to what you can do so learning how to use this to your advantage makes sense. |
