Great tune! That’s one that just about every cover band in the ’70s played. It’s a great jam song and a good way to eat up time and fill out a set.
Good old Box 1 in the minor Pentatonic scale, my favourite space. I noticed that you are playing on the neck PU where as I tend to play solos across my bridge PU especially with my Fender Player 11 Strat HSS. But I am yet to explore the Tones on my new Strat so this lesson was good to hear.. Good lesson Griff as always.

Great explanation! Many thanks.
Somehow, this is making me think of Cream’s Outside Woman Blues.
Wonderful
Griff,
Do you hav a Tab for this lick?
Thanks,
Barry
…I’ve been getting ur almost daily lessons for a few yrs now, purchased a couple courses, watched you and the band play some and have thoroughly enjoyed listening to ur explanations about scales, arpeggios, majors, minors, highs, lows, and, don’t forget, counting, timing, rhythm,… Griff, I’m the same age as you, been playing guitar roughly the same amount of yrs and am ashamed to say that I am still basically a beginner. I didn’t go to school for lessons but tried to get pointers where I could, …no one has ever been able to help me understand the thing that I need most to understand in order to finally understand how to speak musically… until I met you LOL, …and though we haven’t actually met I’ve been listening to you for so long I feel like I know you, I hope to be able to catch up to where I think I should be with my guitar soon, right now I’m pretty much a beginner with 45-ish yrs of practice, my timing has never been right but now I finally know HOW to practice things, …counting, counting, counting …man this has opened the door for me, I wish I knew then what I’m just now learning, …thanks Griff, udaman…
Well if you make it out to North Texas I hope you’ll come say hello! And it’s never too late to start doing things the right way. Once you get the counting thing down you’ll be able to learn much faster.
Played by the Buddy Miles Band (written by Buddy) around 1970. Too funky!
Griff, do you have 11s on that Strat?
No, I use 10s.
I put 8s on my strat 10 years ago and never looked back. I break them but they don’t break me.
