Ray Charles - "What'd I Say" - Video lesson, Chord Sheet, and Tab!

Hello friends,

And welcome to another by request song tutorial. In today's session, I'll break down how to play the Ray Charles 1959 classic "What'd I Say." I'll take you through Ray's intro riffs, a fender roads inspired strumming pattern, and some bluesy licks and turnarounds to get you performance ready. Let's get started!

this lesson is amazing and your arrangement is insanely good! I would love it if you do more of these older songs, such as "Hit the Road Jack" or "Got My Mojo Working". This lesson is the one that made me join your Patreon

Enjoyed this lesson, I'm working on it and can't wait to be able to show it to others when I'm done.

Great lesson, thank you!

One of the most fun lessons. Chords are easy, but the rhythm is hard. Therefore, concentrating on the strumming which is what makes the song shine on the guitar.

Hey, Rob, got my heart pounding with this one. So awesome. I'm thrilled when I can get each piece, little by little. Thanks as always for another gift.

CAN YOU WRITE TAB WHEN YOU DO THINGS LIKE WALK UPS?

Hi Rob - Love this lesson!! I've been working on it for weeks; my new obsession is to be as fast as yours. Question.. when picking the intro riff are you using alternating picking? Or just down picking? Many thanks for your incredible teachings.
