00:07 Hey, I'm Andy Alladort. In this edition of In Deep, we're going to take a look at a few
00:19 different ways to improvise around the Muddy Waters Blues Classic, "Rolling Stone."
00:25 If we listen to Muddy's version at the top here.
00:32 So you got one, two, three, four, and one, two, and one.
00:40 So he always puts this lick on two.
00:53 [music]
01:00 So there's lots of ways you can improvise around this.
01:13 One simple one is to hammer on not just the E note, but the E minor.
01:21 Put a hammer on the G sharp too.
01:28 Hammer once, and then do a trill.
01:37 And Muddy does that kind of thing.
01:39 Yeah, there, a little bit.
01:44 And then he just kind of, you know, "Lord I wish I was a candidate."
01:51 You know, it's very simple, Delta style.
