Robert Johnson is considered the most influential of the early blues men. His haunting vocals and spectacular guitar playing have inspired musicians for decades. In this class we will explore several of his compositions in both standard and open tunings (A, G and D(E) minor). Topics include: fingerpicking style, chord variations, shuffle rhythms and slide guitar. Songs:
Crossroads Blues,
Love in Vain
Sweet Home Chicago,
Come on in My Kitchen,
Crossroads,
From Four Until Late,
Terraplane Blues,
32-20 Blues,
They’re Red Hot,
Hellhound on My Trail.
Note: participants should have some experience fingerpicking blues songs, but an effort will be made to accommodate novice and intermediate players. Participants will also need a bottleneck slide. Pete will discuss in class the options for purchasing a bottleneck and which slides sound best for acoustic guitar.
