I’ve been getting very into the music of players like Cornell Dupree and Steve Cropper. i just love all of those double stops and sixths played all over the board, they way they hold the groove and remain melodic.
Technique-wise I find that I am often not playing these songs as crisply and creanly as I’d like. Being self-taught and having returned to the guitar more seriously just a few years ago I am certain there are gaps in how I approach this stuff. I am hoping to take some lessons soon…
But in the meantime, does anyone have any tips or suggestions for approaching this style? Perhaps some exercises or lessons.
i hace found great videos from Adrian at Anyone Can Play Guitar on youtube and also Eric Haugen’s channel, but any other thoughts, tips, words of wisdom, or resources would be greatly appreciated.
thanks!

I had the pleasure of sharing a dressing room with Steve Cropper on a ten date short tour in 2013 as my band were supporting. We used to sit and chat, and I’d ask him about his songs and techniques and stuff. The main takeaway I got was how he never rushed, always took his time, and always made it look like anyone could do it, he just made it look so easy.
