Description

Teaches you how to fingerpick eight all-time blues classics, mostly from old-school performers like Memphis Minnie, Big Bill Broonzy, Mance Lipscomb and Bessie Smith, with a few songs from R&B artists like Louis Jordan and Charles Brown. Fred shows you how to accompany yourself singing the songs, and how to fingerpick an instrumental version of each. His easy-going instructional style, tips on playing the arrangements, and slowed-down, split-screen performances of each tune make learning easy. All arrangements are included in note/tab – both the backup and solos – in the PDF file on the DVD. Songs include: “Come Back Baby,” “When the Levee Breaks,” “Saint James Infirmary Blues,” “In the Evening When the Sun Goes Down,” “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” “Oh Daddy,” “Let the Good Times Roll” and “Black Night.” Beginners. 116 min.
