Corey Harris plays authentic country blues and has explored the African guitar styles upon which so much early blues was based. Here he teaches songs and instrumentals that will add cross-cultural rhythms and licks to your blues repertoire. Starting with "High Fever Blues" and "C. C. Pill Blues" he teaches fingerstyle riffs and solos in C. Then he moves on to open E slide guitar, covering "Jack O' Diamonds" and his own "King Cotton." He shows you how to add African riffs to Skip James' "Special Rider Blues" and teaches two pieces he learned in Mali: "Bajourou" and "Sundiata." Early intermediate. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 90 min.
