Hi Folks,

Here is today's lesson:

Country Blues great Reverend Gary Davis played a couple of different styles over the years, starting with Blues and Ragtime before concentrating on Gospel in his middle years, and returning a bit to the Ragtime style in his later years. *She’s Funny That Way*is an 8-bar tune that uses a chord progression commonly used by Tin Pan Alley songwriters of the 1920s like Irving Berlin and Cole Porter. It is in 12/8 time and this fingerstyle lesson includes a segment that helps demystify time signatures in general.

Neil et al,

Great to see you continuing with the country blues lessons. I have been looking forward to more of these.

Keep pounding the triplet / swing time message into us, eventually I will get it!!!

Thank you.
