Here, I'll take a look at the piece I mentioned in my last blog that is helpful for exploring the 12th fret box: Robert Johnson’s, “Come On In My Kitchen”.
Apart from the turnaround/intro and occasionally going down to the 7th fret on the 3rd string, it is basically a series of tasty 12th fret licks connected by that Riff Builder box we talked about last week.
Give this first section a try, it is a fantastic piece to get you more fluent and vocal up at the 12th fret.

Here is a video of me playing through this slowly:

See how it drops down to a tasty bit of minor pentatonic playing right in that Riff Builder Box ™ at the end, complete with the pinging high G, great stuff!
I hope you enjoy giving this a go - drop me a line to let me know how you found it.
