Ask Zac Episode 7 - Bobby Womack R&B Telecaster Master

Bobby Womack was an underrated master of R&B Guitar, who influenced many, and wrote the book and/or popularized much of what is considered the R&B guitar vernacular. From his use of sixths, sliding fifths, and double-stops, he helped stamp out a much-copied style of guitar. I walk through his time with the Valentinos, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and his own two first solo records cut in Memphis at American Studios. He was also one of the cats that helped make the Telecaster the defacto R&B guitar.
