You've Got the Pocketbook, I've Got the Key on guitar

I show you how to play  couple of versions of Rev. Gary Davis' "You've Got the Pocketbook, I've Got the Key".  This song was preserved and passed down by his students and fans but was never recorded by him.  I start with a two finger picking arrangement similar to the one Stefan Grossman plays. But when I learned the song as a kid, probably from Roy Bookbinder, it was played faster and had lyrics..... Like all old blues, there is no one right way, so take this and make it your own!

Richland Woman Blues on guitar

I show you how to play Mississippi John Hurt's "Richland Woman Blues".  This song was somewhat unique to his repertoire a was an adaptation of the older folk/blues, "Midnight Special".  He combined dissonate bluesy slides with a more old-time country style bass pattern.

Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia on guitar

I show you how to play my version of Jimmie Rodgers' "Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia". This is a great old tune, and a perfect vehicle for a bluesy/jazzy, fingerstyle break or solo.  Rodgers often worked with Dixieland bands and even the great, Louis Armstrong. So, even though he is known as "The Father of Country Music", his songs are equally influential across the genres of traditional American music - blues, country, jazz and rock all owe a huge debt to Jimmie Rodgers and Emmett Miller.

Frankie and Johnny on guitar

I show you how to play my version of "Frankie and Johnny".  This is one of the first 12 bar blues songs that has been documented.  In various versions, it dates back to the mid 1800s, with lyrics changing to fit various murders throughout the decades. It was recorded by everyone from Jimmie Rodgers and Mississippi John Hurt to Louis Armstrong, Elvis, Doc Watson to Jerry Garcia!  I play it as a Piedmont blues. It is a great tune to make your own and play in your style.

Big Boss Man and remembering Bob Weir

I show you how to play my version of Big Bos Man as more of a Memphis style blues, influenced by Charlie Rich and Jerry Reed.  I also discuss the Grateful Dead and their huge influence on the music we now call Americana.

Salty Dog Blues on guitar

I show you how to play Salty Dog Blues.  My version is based on several of the older blues and hokum versions of the song from the 1920s, but I like the Flatt and Scruggs version too, so I blended in several influences.  I play it in the key of C, which is standard for the early blues versions.  It follows the cycle of 5ths, but with a eat little twist that keeps it moving at a fun pace.  Most of this is improvised on the spot, so it should give you some useful ideas.

Joe Turner Blues on guitar

I show you how to play my version of "Joe Turner Blues", that is mostly based on Mississippi John Hurt's performances. It is a very old song, with many versions and origin stories.  Joe Turner may have been a regulator, deputy sheriff, philanthropist, government agent, railroad man or just a guy trying steal another man's wife.... who knows?  There were likely as many Joe Turners as there are versions of the song. But this one has a great rhythm and is a 3 chord song in G. that gives plenty of room to improvise.

Any Old Time on guitar

I show you how to play my version of the Jimmie Rodgers classic "Any Old Time".  This is a very unique song in his repertoire, because it was recorded with Louis Armstrong in more of a Dixieland style.  I do it as an easy swinging country blues.  It is a very fun song to play, with a laid back rhythm that lets you experience a little of the joy these legends shared in the studio when music was less confined to strict genres and bootleg liquor fueled many a great recording.

Black and Tan Blues on guitar

I show you how to play Blind Boy Fuller's "Black and Tan".  Fuller was a legendary North Carolina guitar player and singer.  A protegee of Blind Blake, he ruled the Durham piedmont blues scene until his untimely death at age 36.  His playing was dynamic, complex and energetic.

Stock Time on guitar

I show you how to play Mississippi John Hurt's "Stock Time" on guitar.  This is a basic buck dance tune.  This genre goes back to at least the 1850s, but is just as enjoyable today.  These tunes were made for dancing, so we discuss the importance of playing for dancers. Music dies when people stop dancing to it. Then, I discuss my Larivee guitar.... I consider it to be the absolute perfect guitar. It fits me, it is my other voice... I wouldn't sell it or trade it for an instrument ten times its value. To quote my old friend, Guy Clark, "Stuff that works, stuff that holds up, the kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall, stuff that's real, stuff you feel, the kind of thing you cling to when you fall"... there is no better guitar for me.

Anytime on guitar

I show you how to play a thumb style version of "Anytime" - this is truly one of my absolute favorite songs!  You may know it as an Eddy Arnold song, but it was first done by Emmett Miller.  Emmett Miller was a blackface comedian from Georgia, who was a big star in the 1920s. He was the first singer to truly combine blues, country and jazz into the form that would shape American popular music to this day.  His band included Eddie Lang, Scatman Crothers, Tommy Dorsey, Jimmy Dorsey and Glenn Miller at various times! He is one of the most important figures in American music, and the one history has tried hardest to erase.

Meat Shakin' Woman on guitar

I show you how to play my version of Blind Boy Fuller's "Meat Shakin' Woman".  This one is much easier than the last Fuller tune we did... but, it does beg the question of why he was so obsessed with fat women....?? Anyway, there are some great licks in this one and it is a fun, real old beer joint type of blues.

Trouble, I've Had It All My Days on guitar

In The Jailhouse Now No  2 on guitar

I show you how to play a thumb style version of Jimmie Rogers" "In The Jailhouse Now No. 2".  This was the sequel to the version that was featured in "Oh Brother Where Art Thou".  This was the version Doc Watson used to play, and I used Doc's lyrics. Unfortunately, I do yodel a little on this one.... apologies!

Steel Guitar Rag on guitar

I show you how to play my version of "Steel Guitar Rag".  This is probably my favorite tune, and was the one that made me want to become a thumb picker.  While mainly based on Merle Travis' version, I mix in a little Sylvester Weaver and Bob Wills influence.

Stingy Mama on guitar

I show you how to play Blind Boy Fuller's "Stingy Mama".  This is song that is very unique to Fuller's style.  The chords are simple, but he used all sorts of little rhythmic tricks and licks that it is fairly challenging.  It is a very fun tune.  I play it in A.  He did it in Bb, with a capo.

I Ain't Got Nobody on guitar

I show you how to play a classic early jazz tune that has been a favorite at least since 1914!  Emmett Millr had a hit with it in the 1920s, for Bob Wills in the 1930s, Louis Prima in the 1950s, David Lee Roth in the 1980s... and countless others. It has a great rhythm, which I enhance with some western swing style chords for a moving bass line. Then, I teach you a fingerstyle solo/break and give you some ideas to turn this tune into a real showstopper... this one is pure fun!!

Baby Quit Your Low Down Ways

I show you how to play Blind Boy Fuller's "Baby Quit Your Low Down Ways" on guitar, with a little Sonny Tery influenced "Whoopin'" on the harmonica.  I had A LOT of fun playing this one, and I hope you will too!
