Major: Mississippi Delta Blues Guitar for intermediate guitarists
An overview of Delta Blues styles in standard tuning and open G (with and without the slide). Starting with Charley Patton & Willie Brown, we will move on to Son House, Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters, with side trips to John Lee Hooker and R.L. Burnside. Students should be intermediate (or advanced, with little or no knowledge of Delta styles); knowledge of finger-picking techniques is not required, but wouldn't hurt.
