Topic: help with delta blues and an electric guitar

[GhostRider]

Howdy:

A nice delta style electric country blues which should be fairly easy to pick up is "Lillie Mae" by Calvin Frazier, which can be found here:

Although this was recorded in the '50's, CF recorded it as an acoustic version for Allan Lomax in Detroit in 1938. CF played with Robert Johnson and his acoustic work bears an RJ influence.

Another CF piece "This Old World's in a Tangle" from the 1938 session is TAB'd out in Dave Rubin's book (now out-of-print) "Acoustic Country Blues Guitar", which has many of the same licks.

Hope this works, and PM me if you need any help. I've always loved this tune, both acoustic and electric verions.
