Ask Zac Episode 21 - Cornell Dupree - History - Gear - Lesson

April 17, 2020

Ever since I heard "Rainy Night in Georgia," and I found out who the guitar player was, I have been a fan of Cornell Dupree. In this episode, I give a bit of history and show some of his playing techniques, such as sixth, 4th's, double stops, and how his choice of strings probably influenced his bending and tone. Cornell was one of the best R&B players of all time.
