In Deep by Andy Aledort
BOOGIE ON
Last month, we initiated a deeper dive into Magic Sam’s guitar tour de force, the live version of his classic blues instrumental “Lookin’ Good,” also known as “Sam’s Boogie.” The elusive techniques Sam uses to play this tune have eluded many players for years. While I was touring with Dickey Betts a few years back, one day he asked me to teach him how to play “Sam’s Boogie.” I didn’t know how! So I set about learning it, and it was quite a challenge. Once I had a handle on it, Dickey and I got together and would work on all the intricacies involved in trying to recreate the variety of techniques Magic Sam employs on this classic track.
