Mississippi Hill Country Blues Guitar offers a look into the Hill Country technique byway of songs from legendary artists Fred McDowell, R.L. Burnside, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Junior Kimbrough, Rosa Lee Hill and Ranie Burnette.
For this lesson Tom Feldmann has compiled a grouping of songs that highlight the individualistic traits of each artist and also gives a well-rounded grasp of the genre as a whole. Though many of these artists played slide guitar, Feldmann focuses solely on their non-slide arrangements in Open G, Standard, Open D and Crossnote tunings.
Hypnotic grooves, steady guitar riffs, and few chord changes are the trademark of Mississippi Hill Country Blues and this lesson hands you the keys to some of the greatest examples. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the original recordings of all the tunes are included. 117 minutes. NTSC Region 0.
