Rory Block continues her exploration of the earthy, hard-driving blues of the Mississippi Delta as played by Booker White, Robert Johnson, John Hurt, Charlie Spann and other great traditional players.
She teaches a number of powerful blues songs, including Fixin' To Die, Love My Blues Away, Leavin' Here, When You've Got A Good Friend and My Train is Waiting. As an added treat, Rory strays from the blues to teach her arrangement of the great English ballad The Water Is Wide, one of the most requested songs in her repertoire.
Each piece is carefully broken down to provide an understanding of the styles and techniques of the blues masters. You'll be able to see both hands in close-up as you learn open tunings, treble melodies, bass runs, slides and string bending, as well as additional variations on the intros, solos, turnarounds and endings.
