Easy Lesson Pack
I often get questions like : "what are the easiest lessons?", "do you have easy lessons?"
So, I chose from the existing packs and added a few new songs, 17 lessons, 8 instrumentals and 9 songs, that I consider as easy. Nevertheless you will need a good foundation in your right hand (for the left hand there are no great difficulties). With foundation I mean : a basic knowledge of the monotonic and alternating bass. If you're not there yet check out the "free lessons for beginners" below the dotted line in the navigation bar.
I chose these songs because they represent a wide range of techniques and flavors in blues. Below you'll find all the performance video's so you can get a good idea what to expect.
To order
: click on "buy now" and you are directed to Paypal to complete the
payment. Paypal will notify me and then I will send your order, with
an email to your Paypal email address. That email will contain a
dropbox link for the tabs and links
to the lesson video's.
So check your Paypal email if it's still valid or let me know a different email address (use contact form).
Note that I live in Europe, possibly a different time zone than yours. So I may be fast asleep at the time of ordering.
You can also order an individual Tab with lessonvideo from any Lesson or Artist Pack as well.
To order an individual Tab go to the top of the navigation bar for "Individual TABS and Lessons"

Lightnin'
Hopkins recorded this short instrumental when he was rediscovered by Mack
McGormick in 1959. He didn't record many slow instrumentals so this is
kinda special.
The recording session was very informal and Lightnin' was in great form. Although short it contains many of his typical licks. You can find the original on the excellent cd "Country Blues" Tradition TCD1003.
