Jared James Nichols is one of the biggest Leslie West fans out there and he's keeping P-90-driven blues alive. He's covered Mountain's classic Mississippi Queen multiple times onstage so who better to break down the song's classic solo for the Gibson app, via our pals at the Gibson Gazette?
It just so happens Jared is a great teacher and he has the best tool for the job; a Gibson Les Paul Jr. There are some big bends and call/response dynamics in the song's second solo that Jared hones in on, and it's a great workout for your vibrato.
