TUNES PRESENTED INCLUDE:

Kokomo Blues, Blue Day Blues, My Black Mama, Devil Got My Woman, Roll And Tumble Blues, Screamin’ And Hollerin’, Georgia Bound and Lifesaver Blues.

LESSON ONE:

Scrapper Blackwell was a popular 1920s blues artist who recorded solo as well as countless sides with the great pianist, Leroy Carr. His unique rhythmic style and use of melodic treble licks can be heard in his Kokomo Blues (key of D) and Blue Day Blues (key of A). Robert Johnson freely adapted Scrapper’s techniques to his playing.

LESSON TWO:

Johnson was a teenager when he met and learned from Son House. Son’s My Black Mama was copied by Johnson in his Walkin’ Blues. Skip James’s Devil Got My Woman, played in a crossnote tuning, was the basis for Johnson’s Hellhound On My Trail. Blind Willie Newbern’s Roll And Tumble Blues was the foundation for Johnson’s Traveling Riverside Blues. Charlie Patton’s Screamin’ And Hollerin’ played in an open G tuning, presents many licks and rhythmic ideas that Johnson used.

LESSON THREE:

The recordings of Lonnie Johnson and Blind Blake influenced bluesmen from the East Coast to Texas to the Mississippi Delta. Blake’s Georgia Bound presents an identical melody to Johnson’s From Four Until Late. Lonnie Johnson’s Lifesaver Blues presents hot licks and a melody used by Johnson.
