Description

DOWNLOAD ONLY.This lesson takes you down the roads and byways of the South in search of various approaches to the blues, aka, The Devil’s Music. From the steady alternating bass of Mississippi John Hurt’s “Ain’t Nobody But You Babe” to the rough and tumble of Son House’s “Banty Rooster” in Open G; from Barbecue Bob’s melodic “Mississippi Heavy Water Blues,” arranged with elements of Atlanta and North Carolina blues, to New Orleans and a more sophisticated approach for Ray Charles’ hit “Let’s Go Get Stoned.” Your journey ends with “Goin’ Down Slow,” a steady bass blues played in dropped D. Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen. Note/tab is included as a PDF file on the disc. The Bonus Audio section includes source recordings. 109 min.
