Very few blues musicians reached the heights that Hooker achieved among his many awards Hooker wasinducted into the Blues Hall of Fame the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. John Lee Hookers trademark one chord blues style can betraced back to his Mississippi roots where he first learned to play guitar and although often described as a simple technique the rhythm found in his playing is the bedrock by which all things blues fingerstyle rock etc. isbased upon. John Lee Hooker played out of standard tuning E position and Spanish tuning typically Open A and nearly all his recorded works fall into either category.

Tunes include: 'Maudie' 'Tupelo MS' 'I'll Never Get Out of These Blues Alive' 'Boom Boom' 'Boogie Chillen' 'Hobo Blues' 'I'm A Crawling King Snake' 'Bundle Up and Go'.

The musical appeal of the Blues, as they began to be heard in the early twentieth century, was so infectious that musicians with open minds and ears were drawn to it as soon as they heard it. And that appeal crossed the racial and ethnic divides that characterized American society. So it was, that even before African American guitarists were recorded playing fingerstyle blues guitar, their white neighbors had already begun learning the music?listening to, watching, and imitating the musicians whose music they so admired. And what these white musicians ended up expressing in their own playing and singing was not simply imitation, but their own reconfiguration of what their models did, played in accordance with their own senses of rhythm, phrasing and how to sing the music.In Hillbilly Fingerstyle Blues Guitar, author John Miller offers transcriptions, in tablature and standard notation, of twenty-eight pieces by these white fingerstyle blues players, taken from recordings made in the period 1926?1970. Some of the featured musicians in the book, like Sam McGee, Frank Hutchison, Maybelle Carter, Hobart Smith, and Roscoe Holcomb are pretty well known, but the tunes by more obscure players like Debs Mays, Lake Howard, or Lester McFarland certainly don?t suffer by comparison, and in many instances are spectacular. The pieces have been chosen for variety, too?you?ll encounter pieces played in C, E, and A in standard tuning, as well as songs in Open G, Open D tunings and an exotic offshoot of Open G tuning. Downloadable links to all of the original performances from which the transcriptions were made come with the book, so you can get the sound of the tunes in your head. The musicians in Hillbilly Fingerstyle Blues Guitar gravitated towards the Blues because the music spoke to them so strongly that they felt compelled to make it part of their own musical language. And they did just that. These performances are strong and worthwhile in their own right, but they?ll also show you how you can honor those who have inspired you by singing and playing in your own voice. And that?s an important lesson to learn. Includes access to online audio.

Taught By Tom Feldman-'Robert Johnson is the most important blues musician who ever lived. I have never found anything more deeply soulful. His music remains the most powerful cry that I think you can find in the human voice.' Eric Clapton'Robert Johnson's music sent me reeling. I couldn't even imagine how someone could play the guitar the way he did and sing at the same time.' Bonnie RaittRobert Johnson is arguably the most well known figure in the history of the blues. Though the 29 songs Johnson recorded from 1936-1937 had little impact during his lifetime a collection of his singles entitled King of the Delta Blues Singers was released in 1961 and found widespread recognition. Then 30 years later The Complete Recordings of Robert Johnson was released selling over one million copies. The first blues recording to do so winning a Grammy in the process.Since that 1961 LP players from all different musical backgrounds have sought to learn Robert Johnson's techniques and in this 3 DVD set with over 5 hours and 52 minutes of instruction Tom Feldmann covers every aspect of Johnson's playing. Each song is performed by Feldmann before he dissects the arrangement verse-by-verse and ends with a split screen segment where the song is played slowly with close up shots of both the left and right hands. This is the most expansive look into the guitar playing of Robert Johnson produced in video form.

The golden age of African fingerpicking guitar was in the 1950s and 1960s. The great players and recording artists of that time included Jean Bosco Mwenda and Losta Abelo from Zaire and George Mukabi from Kenya. Guitaristsfrom other parts of the world have rarely if ever had a chance to learn their songs and playing techniques. On this DVD their arrangements are taught by John Low who has lived worked and studied with African musicians includingthose mentioned above. There are some interesting links with American guitar styles but there are just as many differences including rhythms borrowed from traditional African music and catchy up-beat patterns. Africanfingerstyle guitar is usually accompanied by rhythms played on a bottle. John Low is accompanied on this DVD by Frans Maathuis and Keith Jackman on bottles.
