Here is Todays 5th installment to our Country Blues program available to all Target members and now available as a streaming package..

Lesson 5, Summertime Strut *is another 16-bar progression, but with a ragtime feel like more complex pieces by Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, and even a touch of Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant. This lesson is in the key of C and addresses the theory of using chords outside the key signature.

It includes some quick changes and other left hand techniques that will require a little more time to master- stretching and moving separate fingers in different directions at the same time, and the option of using your left thumb to fret notes
on the 6th string. It is a Level 5 song and completes Volume 1 of the Country Blues Guitar course.

Hope you enjoy

Cheers

Matt

I'm biased because this is my main area of guitar-playing interest (though maybe that actually gives my opinion more credibility) but this is just an amazing package of lessons. Really top notch stuff.

Needless to say, I'm hoping for more, especially along the Jorma/Rev. Gary Davis/Piedmont style line. "Light of this World" would be perfect.
