Here's the next episode of Soloing Secrets with Robin Trower. I've had a number of requests to feature more of Trower's music and aside from a Chordplay and Three-For-All episode surrounding his important and highly influential music/playing style, I figured it was finally time to take a deeper look at some of the interesting things he's uncovered/discovered on the fretboard over the years - which is exactly what this lesson contains.

The ideas in this lesson were pulled from the classic 1974 Trower album 'Bridge Of Sighs.' Without question, this is the album that really put Trower's music, name, and guitar playing into the spotlight and on the map. His beginnings with Procol Harum helped him reach fame, but it was his output working with his trio in the early/mid-1970s that really helped him find his audience and build a legion of dedicated fans, copycat imitators, and loyal followers for decades.

The licks, phrases, and ideas in this episode were pulled from various classic Trower moments, including songs such as 'Day Of The Eagle' and 'Too Rolling Stoned,' not to mention a look at the dreamy deep cut from the album - 'About To Begin.' Additionally, this lesson also takes a look at the noticeable Jimi Hendrix influence found in Trower's music and playing style. From the general licks/phrases to the tones/effects he used during the 1970s and continues to use to this day - so there's plenty of MXR Uni-Vibe floating around in this lesson.

Needless to say, if you're a Robin Trower fan, a fan of blues-rock guitar, or a player searching for some new slick licks/phrases to borrow/steal, while also learning more about an absolute legend of the electric guitar - this lesson is totally for you!
