I can’t even say how often I find out that one of my favorite songs was written by Otis Rush…
And every time I hear him play it always twists my ear and makes me listen.
So in today’s lesson I’ll show you how he approaches the solo section of, “All Your Love I Miss Lovin'” and a little extra about that tone he gets.
Dig it!

The picking is very similar to the pattern used in ‘Every breath you take’. I wonder if that is where the Police got it from-?
Thanks griff definitely less is more I love that tune .
Great Stuff! One of my “recent” favorite Mayall “interpretations’ is from his recordings “In the Palace of the King” ‘s **Cannonball Shuffle** with Robben Ford. Having seen (and met) John and The Bluesbreakers in many of their iterations since 1968 is one of the reasons I became a professional Harp player. Of course, my mentors Charlie Musselwhite and Paul Butterfield were of great influence.
The legendary Gary Moore covered this song on his Still Got The Blues album from 1990. I highly recommend it, especially if you like to hear the blues played on an overdriven Les Paul!
On last text,hand playing pressure issue, good call people get arthritis from playing like that too much pressure, Plus your muscles in your hand are tense so you can’t play as fast.. and ruin the frets on your guitar, come on man,dang
Good enough for Clapton and Mayall for the Beano Album and a guitarist that Albert King and many others were inspired by is good enough for me. A good lesson in less is often more. Not how many notes you play but how you use and articulate the notes you play. Good call Griff. Rush ES 345 Clapton 59-60 Les Paul…
Cool lesson, I’ve been messing around with this one this evening. I did a quick Youtube search and found a cool version with Robert Cray. He adds his own touch to it and you can tell it’s him from a mile away, and when he adds his famous chord vibrato to it, it takes it to a whole new level. Check it out!
This is not one I’ll want to replay every day, but as Jeff said, it’s Soooo simple & Cool! Reminds me of the 70’s at Bulls in Chicago, catching Otis and friends in the most intimate setting possible.
love that- gettin back to the roots with Otis Rush
one more fun and great lesson. The best teatcher on the web
So simple but so cool.
Griff—struck by how these arpeggios are the same technique for the end of “Hotel California. Great technique—can use it a lot! Thanks!
