This lesson
is intended for advanced
players looking for ways
to voice chords and
arrange tunes in ways
that sound rich and
complex but feel nimble
under the hands. We?ll
look mostly at
arrangements I?ve made of
blues and fiddle
melodies, and also look
at the playing of the
remarkable Johnny St.
Cyr.We begin our lesson
with Ma Rainey?s Yonder
Comes the Blues. This is
followed by Jelly Roll
Morton?s Jelly Roll
Blues. Composed in 1915
and was one of the first
published jazz
compositions. Johnny St.
Cyr was a famous New
Orleans musician who
played both guitar and
the six-string banjo. He
recorded with Louis
Armstrongs Hot Five and
Hot Seven bands. He also
played with Jelly Roll
Mortons Red Hot Peppers.
His Guitar Blues is a
tour-de-force and
challenge for any
fingerstyle guitarist. We
finish our lesson with
the Mineola Rag first
recorded by the East
Texas Serenaders. Titles
include: Yonder Come The
Blues, Jelly Roll Blues,
Guitar Blues and Mineola
