damianbacci.com In this Western Swing guitar lesson, I'll be teaching you Junior Barnard's solo that he played on "What's the Matter with the Mill?" by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys back in 1946. This solo is played over a 12 bar blues progression in the key of A. I hope you'll find this lesson with onscreen tabs and backing track helpful. :)
