I teach according the tab in front of me.  All songs are  transcribed so you can play a full arrangement with intro/outro and guitarsolo's.


Following songs/TABS are included :


1- Angel Child

One of Mance Lipscomb best songs in the key of A but in drop D tuning, quite unique and it gives the song an enormous drive. Intro, a typical verse (with some variations explained), the two solo's and ending are taught.  Lyrics for the first verse are written under the tab, this will help you getting the vocals down.  Like always I demonstrate with and without vocals.

2- Catfish Blues

My version is mostly based on one by Spencer Bohren.  Key of E but tuned down a half step, as a lot of bluesmen do.  Tuning down a bit sounds really bluesy and will fit often your voice a bit better.  Lyrics of the first verse are written under the tab for easy of learning.

3- Big Road Blues

My take on Tommy Johnson's classic.  Great song to free up your right hand as this type of delta blues is a mix of strumming and fingerpicking.

4- Longing For My Sugar

A great Leroy Carr song and although the song is a 12-bar blues it uses the circle of 5ths to make the progression more interesting.  My goal with this lesson is to help you playing Blind Blake's typical double bass, learning a new progression to a simple 12-bar blues, how to use the progression to make a solo interesting by substituting first position chords with chords up the neck .

Please open the videodescription of the youtube video to learn more of the background to this song.

5- So Far Doing Alright

I learned this from a Mary Flower recording.  It's a fine blues in the key of E and uses an interesting progression.  Getting out of the traditional I IV V progression is a welcome now and then.  I added a second solo and changed the lyrics a bit.  Standard tuning but I'm tuned a half step low.  Lyrics of the first verse and chorus are written under the tab for ease of learning.

6- Why

Based on a Jelly Roll Morton composition and played/sung in the style of Leon Redbone.    A slow jazzy blues

The video explains not only the tab but also demonstrates what to play when singing it.

7- Boogie in C

A boogie based on the playing of Reverend Gary Davis (lotsa riffs are derived from his Walking Dog Blues) and Lightnin' Hopkins, some of his tricks in the key of E were transposed to the key of C.

I did a version with vocals as well; just of show you how you can use an instrumental to create a song with vocals.

8- Going Down Slow

In the style of Geoff Bradford and Lightnin' Hopkins.

If you want to incorporate a shuffle beat in your blues playing, this song has it all.  Not easy but rewarding if you take the time working on it.

Key of E - 5 page tab

9- Me and My Chauffeur Blues

Memphis Minnie's greatest hit from 1941.  I arranged it for solo guitar (Minnie's vesion has 2 guitars) in the key of E, capo II
4 pages of tab, verse accompaniment and 3 solo's are transcribed plus two lesson video's.

10- Things 's 'bout Coming My Way

A great Tampa Red slide song in the style of Mike Dowling.  I teach all verses and three guitar solo's with two lessonvideo's  (the second lessonvideo will be sent with the tab).

This song has the same melody as Elmore James' "It Hurts Me Too" or the Mississippi Sheiks "Sittin' On Top Of The World".

Open D tuning tuned a half step up
