Course Overview
Learn To Play Blues Guitar Big Bill Broonzy Style
Big Bill Broonzy was one of the undisputed kings of Ragtime Blues. Along side players like Blind Blake and The Rev Gary Davies he can be rated among the greatest exponents of this style. He was an accomplished player of all the guitar styles of the day and served a long and established career as a Chicago sideman to some of the most famous musicians in the boom time of blues and jazz in the 30's and 40's.
In this course you'll be exploring mainly his unique solo acoustic technique using six classic Broonzy instrumentals such as 'The Guitar Shuffle', 'Hey Hey', and 'House Rent Stomp' and one of my own Broonzy style tunes called 'Broonzy Blues'. If you're new to fingerstyle blues there are lots of Broonzy warm up exercises to prepare you for his thumping guitar style. I'll be playing the complete pieces and then giving you bar breakdowns so you can see how it's done.
