Delta Blues Guitar Lesson: Mississippi John Hurt

[1b2d3f1]

Does the pdf tab match waht you are doing cause it looks so much different when I play it

[gallanttimmy201]

Buddy, don't ever think your any kind of guitarist. And here you are attempting to give lessons? I sounded better when I was 5yrs.old. listening to folks with videos on you tube such as " kenileeburgis, daddystovepipe,and ddking66. Now those guys are guitar players. What is it your doing?

[chomperknocker]

@gallanttimmy201

Hater. Why do you think it's ok to be so rude to someone offering a free lesson? If you don't like it, don't watch. There's no need to be mean.

[PeluMaad]

It seems the phrase "Delta blues" is applied to damn near any acoustic blues. This is a terrible disservice to the few guys who were actually from the delta of the Sunflower River and who together developed a particular style and repertoire in the early 20th century. DO THE READING!

[EvilCensor]

Could be interesting but there is no obvious link to any PDFs on your site as others have suggested - disappointing.

[robertsonmark08]

i cant seem to find your pdf's.....thanks for theses lessons..

[cdhoskins1977]

Thanks, very helpful. Your videos are great are easy to follow.

[digismash]

thanks for these lessons, excellent job!

[PeluMaad]

Shot in the dark here....would you happen to know anything about Louie Lasky? I've heard 3 cuts by him in an interesting flatpicked style and he backs Bill Broonzy on one cut. He and Broonzy have versions of the same song..."How You Want It Done", but to my ear he's closer to Uncle Dave Macon...weirdly enough...

[maddielesage]

Could someone possibly explain where the 'A' part of the song that kevin goes through slowly actually fit's into the song? I am very confused, in the song there is a double pick on the e string on the 7th fret. Is it just the second part of the 'A' riff? Don't know if that makes sense but I am determind to learn this song and I've learn't the 'A' part he goes through perfectly but listening to the song I don't get were it fits in.

[kelvis97]

@maddielesage Also its a typical One /Four /Five progression, so the A chord is the One, then sliding up to the fifth (on E note) and seventh (on B & G) gives you your D chord which is your four chord.

[PeluMaad]

UH....John Hurt was pretty much a pre-blues songster with almost no connection to the delta and it's styles other than being from the same state...Do Charlie Patton and Hurt sound remotely similar?

[kelvis97]

@PeluMaad Thats true I try to focus on the Delta Blues genre but do stray a bit

[PeluMaad]

@kelvis97 two books....Escaping the Delta...and...Segregating Sound...are very good at pointing out how record companies have shaped our perception of the music and muscians of the 20s and 30s. The popular image of Robert Johnson falls apart when you look closely at how much of the blues spectrum is reflected in his music. He may have begun in the Delta, but he didn't stay there long.

[iminheck]

@PeluMaad Don't get more Mississipppi Delta then Avalon.

[PeluMaad]

@iminheck ...Avalon is south of the delta...John Hurt plays an older ragtime based style...The Delta blues are Charlie Patton, Willie Brown and Son House mostly...

[shalala686]

why that guy tell about notes in standard tune))))))))he really think that noobs interested delta blues

[tom14854]

Thank You, I like the way you spice the song up with adding other ideas. Makes it uplifting and brings over an easy feel. Blues are most sad but you create a funny happy mood.

[jmgandul]

Thank you so much. How can i dowonload the Tabs or lesson?

[borntobewildpascal]

ouin ces quoi la toune a 0:10 ?

[Milanotjuh]

what is the song you hear at 0:10 ? I would like to learn that one !

[mrgoodwin68]

Fairly good lesson.  You could do with less emphasis on the tuning piece. Anyone who could play this certainly can figure out "standard tuning". You could also do with more emphasis on the finger picking patterns. It was some time before I noticed that you "snuck" in a pinky on one part.

[kelvis97]

There is no pinky used in picking I dont want to confuse anyone, I put the tuning in as a courtesy to match pitch, I agree it is a bit cumbersome but you have the option of moving the playhead past

[slideharp1]

@mrgoodwin68 Obviously you need to Listen as well as watch - you can basically see where and how he's doing what he's doing. But Playing an instrument is about hearing and playing according to what you hear and what sounds Right for the Moment. Not just pling something 'cos someone else "snuck" it in and you didn't notice til Later - that's just monkey see, monkey do.

[NearlyNormalSteve]

@mrgoodwin68 He does say "guitar 101"

[gnetix79]

Thank you so much for posting this! This is the reason that legends never die!! And the fact that legends are born every day. Than you!!

[GDguitarplayer]

Awesome! I learned this from here! Beautiful guitar too!

[0209KMK58]

Very good lesson.

Too bad no time is spent explaining the E-chord picking patter and the descending pattern right at the end.

Maybe it's meant to be a secret.

[kelvis97]

More Tab and video on this site, (replace commas w/ dots)..

[kelvis97]

The first chord is an "A major chord" which is barred w/ your index and starting on the first fret sliding up to the 2nd fret.

The pinky is free to reach the 5th fret first string which is a A note. The guitar is a Guild JF 30

[MOTARDkamikaze]

Sweet guitar

[TheUltimateGC]

what is that first chord?!?!?

[modosalterados]

hi. excuse my english level. my name is óscar. i belive that the first chord is "G#-A" (legato), but whit "A" (note) and "G" note in the sixth strig. bye (from spain)

[getlow94]

whats that guitar???

[fallfrukt]

getlow94: My best guess is that the guitar is either a Guild F30 or a GF30.

[getlow94]

thanks xD
