The Guitar of Blind Willie McTell 12-string blues & ragtime guitar
Blind Willie McTell, a legendary mystical genius, recorded from 1927, when he established his reputation with the transcendent Statesboro Blues all the way into the 1950 s. In homage to the great Georgia 12-string bluesman, Bob Dylan said: "No one can sing the blues like Blind Willie McTell." McTell is known for his unique swift clean fin-gerpicking style on his old Stella 12-string guitar. This was perfectly suited for his blues, rags and haunting vocals. He was also a master slide player, able to melt hearts with both blues and gospel gems. He was particularly expert at seamlessly combining a solid moving bass melodic style with spontaneous shimmering runs.  In this DVD lesson Ernie teaches Blind Willie s greatest songs. Titles include: Statesboro Blues, Come Around To My House Mama, Broke Down Engine, Searching The Desert For The Blues, Mama T Ain t Long For Day and Savannah Mama 92-min DVD / Level 2/3 / 40 page tab/music booklet
