Hi Everyone,

Today's Target members only lesson is a new Fly On The Wall.

Our second night with John Renbourn started with a few students warming up as the last few stragglers arrived. John was captivated by some of the playing he was hearing before a very informal introduction. He then gave a quick recap of the previous night’s session and took it from there.

Part 1 – Another Historical Review: Once again John started talking about the influences on the young British guitar players, mentioning Brownie McGhee and Big Bill Broonzy, then going into some blues improv as an example using the “Broonzy Bass” style. The other main influence was east coast fingerpicking from the likes of Rev. Gary Davis and Mississippi John Hurt.

He played some examples of this style and talks about his buddy Bert Jansch and Davey Graham as well. He uses Davey’s song Anji as an example of combining many of the styles that influenced them then improvises his way through the tune.

Enjoy!
