How to play a BETTER Solo Over The Chicken 

The Chicken was written by Pee Wee Ellis, but Jaco brought it to a wider audience: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicken_(music)

Man, what a great player you are . I love it. And what a great lesson too. I already have some great new solo things on my mind . This is some of the best lessons in years for me. I 'm always trying to spice up the blues (things you can do over dominant 7 chords etc) . This lesson is great. Thank you and keep on going with these things. Mike

I played this song for so long and have a listen to so many different versions. That was absolutely beautiful and very fluid!

John, your tone (Sire 335 and HX) on this is just soooo good!!! (And of course your playing is as well )

I tried this tune a couple of times without success. Just yesterday I thought I’d commit to figuring it out and now this upload comes along. Thanks!

Splendid lesson. Wonderful playing.

Eye- and ear-opening breakdown. Thanks for this! -Tom

Thank you so much. I gotta go over this tune for my studio class.

Great explanation and walk through of the tune!

I worked at a KFC for maybe a month back in 1997. I found out that one of part of the Colonel's secret recipe was marinating all of the chicken in a very strong solution of MSG and some spices. Not healthy stuff. Haven't eaten there since.

This is currently the best guitar channel on youtube. Everything else is basically bullshit. Keep it up man!

Thank you! For me, this is outta this world kinda lesson. Cheers!

Yessss! Excellent video (as usual)

my favorite kind of videos on youtube.

Great ideas Jon - thanks once again 👍🏻

Great ideas for any instrument. Trying to get to grips with it on the sax.

so helpful--thank you much, and godspeed to you and yours:)

Really channeling your inner Allen Hinds.

nice approach the D7 chord is always tricky as the tune starts out so much like a blues I expect a I chord there

Beautiful stuff 🔝

Woo hoo!!! Thanks John!

some very tasty licks!

This was awesome 👍

You had some great instructionals in this time period, so a year 3 months ago. April 2021.

Thank you!

Jaco didn’t write it. It’s a cover. The great Pee Wee Ellis wrote it Also, there are some great Maceo Parker versions

Which patch are you using? Is it in the Pod Go Google drive? 😊🙏

Why thinking of a 2 5 in major when the chord is a dom7? it should be a diminished for that actually?

Please to a break down of the lick on 1:54 ! Thank you for the amazing content

Why wouldn’t this one do well on RU-vid? Bursting with info and cool things for us to learn

cool !!!

John, excuse me, but your voice doesnt sound too well over a phone, maybe some eq?

thought this was gonna be another installment of Bothering Birds, was let down

This is not a Jaco tune! He did not write it, Pee Wee Ellis did. Originally recorded by James Brown, Pee Wee has covered it, Maceo has, etc.
