Award-winni
ng blues songwriter and
performer Jon Shain
brings us his fingerstyle
guitar arrangements of
some of the earliest
blues and rags ever
published. W. C. Handy,
known as the Father of
the Blues, wrote and
arranged for piano and
voice and sometimes for
full ragtime orchestra.
Shain has arranged these
compositions to be played
on guitar, weaving the
timeless vocal melodies
and bass lines throughout
the pieces. Guitar
tablature, standard
musical notation, and
lyrics are all included,
along with historical
background on each song.
Includes access to online
audio.
