Description
In this course you will learn how to play blues on the acoustic guitar as it was done on the recordings of the 1920s and 1930s. We will start by learning the basic concepts needed to understand this style of guitar playing - mainly the alternating and monotonic bass lines. Then I will teach you all of the basic chords needed to play acoustic blues guitar and give you a number of practice exercises to help you learn and master each one. In the main part of the course, I will teach you 25 different acoustic blues songs - five in each of the most commonly used keys. This will allow you to apply what you have learned and learn the nuances of playing in each key. The songs covered are: Key of C - Ella Speed by Mance Lipscomb- East St. Louis Blues by Blind Willie McTell- Ain't No Tellin' by Mississippi John Hurt - I'm Busy and You Can't Come In by Sylvester Weaver (Instrumental)- Hesitation Blues by Reverend Gary DavisKey of E - Groundhog Day Blues by Lil' Son Jackson- Mojo Hand by Lightning Hopkins- Annie's Boogie by Lightning Hopkins (Instrumental)- Sugar Babe by Mance Lipscomb- Key to The Highway by Big Bill BroonzyKey of A - Robert Johnson Style in A- Keep Away From My Woman by Blind Boy Fuller- Blues Come to Texas by Lil' Son Jackson- Coffee Blues by Mississippi John Hurt- Moppers Blues by Big Bill BroonzyKey of D - Stack O' Lee by Mississippi John Hurt- Big Road Blues by Tommy Johnson- Canned Heat by Tommy Johnson- Old Country Rock by WIlliam Moore (Instrumental)- Chump Man Blues by Blind BlakeKey of G - Step It Up and Go by Blind Boy Fuller- Love In Vain by Robert Johnson- Casey Jones by Mississippi John Hurt - That'll Never Happen No More by Blind Blake- Bye Bye Baby by Little Hat Jones Each lesson teaches the basic song plus any chords, introductions, fill-licks, bridges, solos, and end tags! When you are finished with this course, you should be well on your way to being able to play authentic country blues guitar and figure out more songs on your own! Make no mistake here - you are getting a shi#load of instruction for the money!!!! Basic TABS are included for each lecture. I am just getting started with Guitar Pro 7. Please note that I do not TAB out the entire songs in this series! I only TAB out what I teach. The TABS are very basic, but accurate. I plan on revising and adding to the TABS for this lesson as I become more skilled with the GP7 software. Let me know what you think!
