Banty Rooster taught by Stefan Grossman

Free PDF tab/music is available for this lesson at: www.guitarvideos.com/free-tabs/banty-rooster FINGERPICKING THE DEVIL’S MUSIC taught by Stefan Grossman We explore the steady alternating bass of Mississippi John Hurt's Ain't Nobody But You Babe to the rough and tumble playing of Son House's Banty Rooster in an Open G tuning. Barbecue Bob's melodic Mississippi Heavy Water Blues with it's repeating bass line motif is rearranged to a partial Open G tuning (D G D G B E) and combines the Atlanta blues sound with that from North Carolina. We get a taste of New Orleans and a more sophisticated approach for the playing of the Ray Charles hit Let's Go Get Stoned. We end our journey with Goin' Down Slow. A steady bass played blues in A with melodic lead lines but played in dropped D tuning, a technique taught to me by Mance Lipscomb. Titles include: Mississippi Heavy Water Blues, Banty Rooster, Ain't Nobody But You Babe, Let's Go Get Stoned and Goin' Down Slow You can order the DVD or Download at: https://www.guitarvideos.com/#!/Lets-...
