00:00Hey, this is Joe Bonamassa, and we're talking about my album, Blues Deluxe Volume 2.

00:14One of the songs that we cut was Fleetwood Mac's Lazy Poker Blues. And I'm a big fan of all things

00:28how it goes, you know. And it kind of went like this.

00:44It's kind of a standard blues riff, but of course you have to put in the...

00:58You know, there's so many different variations you can do to it, but...

01:26One of the things that the British guys always used to do, to go from the one to the four,
