This collection
presents six legendary
blues guitarists from the
1920s to early 1940s.
Each has his own unique
approach, style and
techniques for playing.
Some like Rev. Gary Davis
favored regular tuning
while Josh White was
equally at home playing
in Open D tuning as well
as standard tuning.
Lonnie Johnson is unique
in his playing techniques
as well as use of a D G D
G B E tuning. Buddy
Mossâ??s recordings
influenced generations of
Piedmont guitarists,
especially Blind Boy
Fuller. Bo Carter had one
of the most unusual tonal
approaches for playing
blues, ragtime and
novelty songs. And lastly
there is Tommy McClennan.
His recordings sound
â??rough and tumbleâ?
but once you explore the
intricacies of his
playing you will discover
a powerful blues
guitarist.
