Blindsight is the ability of certain blind people to respond to visual stimuli or can be used to describe the ability of people who lose their sight to still form images when they dream. This piece, Blindsighted, contrasts an intensely rhythmic ostinato with freer lyrical material creating rich textures that will both teach and inspire.
Blindsight is the ability of some people who are blind to respond to visual stimuli that they cannot consciously see, for instance to accurately track motion . It also is used to describe the ability of people who lose their sight to still form images when they dream .Musically, Blindsighted contrasts an intensely rhythmic ostinato with freer lyrical material . This contrast in textures should be highlighted to create rich contrasts between rhythm and lyricism . The middle section at m . 67 should sing freely and should contrast with the rhythmic drive that surrounds it . Measures 87 to 105 are at a faster tempo, but should start to pick up sonic intensity and more rhythmic drive as they proceed, while still remaining essentially lyrical . The section starting in m . 105 gradually intensifies the rhythmic energy, culminating at m . 113 with a return of the opening material . The work concludes with a dramatic drive to the end starting at m . 129 .I enjoyed writing this piece and hope your students will enjoy playing these contrasting styles and that you will find the piece beneficial in teaching important musical concepts .

Blind Lemon Jefferson was a trail blazer, both as a singer and guitarist, but also as a commercial phenomenon, for he was the first blues musician to establish the tremendous appeal that blues, as played and sung by rural African American folk, had for the record-buying public. It is no exaggeration to say that the sales of Lemon’s records paved the way for a host of other solo rural blues musicians to record in his wake and made the record companies more willing to give other musicians a chance, in the hopes of achieving similar success. 

Lemon ’s record sales weren’t what made him a great musician, though - that could only be attributed to his startlingly virtuosic guitar - playing and soulful singing, developed over years of busking, building on his natural gifts with a great deal of practice and work. In the Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson author John Miller presents transcriptions, in standard notation and tablature, of 22 of Lemon’s greatest performances, with an additional essay examining Lemon’s senses of time and phrasing and his picking techniques. Also included is a download link to all the original recordings. 

To present a picture of Lemon the man, noted blues researchers Alan Governar and Kip Lornell have contributed an essay focusing on Lemon’s early life, the origins of his music, and his time spent in a musical partnership with Lead Belly. Links are provided to downloadable performances of the songs in the book from which the transcriptions were made, so that you can have Lemon’s sound in your head as you learn to play his songs.

Blind Lemon Jefferson was remarkable, even in a style that abounded in great musicians, and some measure of his influence can be seen in the fact that musicians recorded in the 1960s, more than thirty years after his death, were still covering his songs and stealing guitar licks from him. The Guitar of Blind Lemon Jefferson gives you the resources needed to learn what was so special about Lemon’s music, and to experience his musical excellence from inside the music itself.
