Summary of This Method
This method by Stefan Grossman is a true gateway to Delta blues guitar, taking you to meet major figures of the genre: Willie Brown, Son House, Skip James, Hambone Willie Newbern, Charlie Patton, Arthur Pattis, and Robert Wilkins. Beyond a simple collection, the book offers a structured approach that blends musical culture and instrumental practice, ideal for understanding the aesthetics of rural blues and its codes (rhythms, accompaniment patterns, melodic responses, playing intentions).
Each artist is presented through a biography, followed by the studied pieces with standard notation and tablature, allowing you to work on both rhythmic precision and fingerings as well as characteristic techniques (attack, accentuation, alternating basses depending on the pieces, picking variations). The included CD, composed of original recordings, provides an essential audio reference to assimilate the touch, placement, and dynamics specific to this repertoire.
The content notably covers: Future Blues, M&O Blues, Ragged And Dirty, Dry Spell Blues, My Black Mama, Devil Got My Woman, Hard Time Killin' Floor, Special Rider, Roll And Tumble Blues, Screamin' And Hollerin' The Blues, Stone Pony Blues, 34 Blues, Good Boy Blues, That's No Way To Get Along. An excellent choice for guitarists wishing to enrich their blues vocabulary, develop their sense of groove, and appropriate essential Delta blues classics.
