John Lee Hooker "Boom Boom " Guitar Lesson acoustic, Masters of Delta Blues Guitar

Hooker began his life as the son of a sharecropper, William Hooker, and rose to prominence performing his own unique style of what was originally closest to Delta blues. He developed a 'talking blues' style that was his trademark. Though similar to the early Delta blues, his music was metrically free. John Lee Hooker could be said to embody his own unique genre of the blues, often incorporating the boogie-woogie piano style and a driving rhythm into his masterful and idiosyncratic blues guitar and singing. His best known songs include "Boogie Chillen" (1948) and "Boom Boom" (1962).

Cool video! A capo can go on the first fret if anyone wants to match the pitch of the  recorded "studio" version, but obviously the all of the chords/riffs are the same.
