The Guitar of Rory Block: Blues – Arrangements to Rory’s Most Requested Songs
STREAMING OR DOWNLOAD ONLY. Rory Block’s powerful lesson in fingerstyle blues guitar starts with Hawkins’ Blues in open G tuning. During a detailed break-down, she teaches rolls, jumps, intros, bass runs and a variety of rhythm patterns typical of Buddy Boy Hawkins, Tommy Johnson and other Mississippi Delta masters. Lottie Kimbrough’s rollicking Rolling Log, in dropped D tuning, includes sliding, bent-note licks, alternating bass notes and instrumental breaks. She then pulls out her socket wrench slide to perform an energetic rendition of Robert Johnson’s Terraplane Blues, highlighting this blues master’s high octave slide and trademark rhythm patterns. Bye, Bye Blues, a Tommy Johnson tune in standard tuning, showcases Rory’s well-known percussive string snapping and bending guitar style. Rory closes the session with a stirring performance of Mississippi Blues by Willie Brown. Includes PDF booklet. 80 min.
