Hellhound On My Trail Lesson

Hi all,

So, school's winding down to a close and I'm finally getting the chances to make some more videos. Here's one that I've been meaning to make for a while. Definitely, it's one of Robert Johnson's finest recordings which almost deems it a must-know for any Delta blues enthusiast. Check it out, if you've got some spare time.

Jack White's Diddly Bow

Anybody ever played around with one of these? Looks/Sounds like a lot of fun...I might make one this summer.

Another Memphis Minnie Lesson...New Bumble Bee Blues

Here's a tutorial on a different rendition of Bumble Bee Blues, recorded by the great Memphis Minnie (one of the few female pre-war blues artists similar to Geeshie Wiley & her haunting Last Kind Words). I made one a while back (about a month ago) that is slightly unlearnable just because of the awkwardness of the positions and therefore LH/RH demands...that first version is more of an exercise to test your ability to play fingerstyle.

This new rendition, actually entitled New Bumble Bee Blues, is much more accessible and interesting from a lick-learning point of view. Maybe, check it out if you're looking for some simple but catchy single note blues lines to learn.
