Episode #150 Muddy Waters - Mannish Boy Lesson

Episode 150! In this episode I'm taking you through this blues
classic! Mannish Boy by Muddy Waters. This is one of my absolute
favourite 'zone out' songs and we go through the main riff and
lead parts to this awesome live version of the 1955
standard.

Mannish Boy" (or "Manish Boy" as it was first
labeled) is a blues standard written by Muddy Waters, Mel London,
and Bo Diddley (with Waters and Diddley being credited under
their birth names). First recorded in 1955 by Waters, it serves
as an "answer song" to Bo Diddley's "I'm a Man", which was in
turn inspired by Waters' and Willie Dixon's "Hoochie Coochie Man.
Mannish Boy" features a repeating stop-time figure on one chord
throughout the song.



Grab your guitar and join me in learning the whole of this
fantastic Beatles tune. An absolute classic riff and really fun
solo to play. This is one I always reccomend my students to
learn.
