« Last post by Johnm on Today at 06:58:18 AM »Hi all,
Fingerstyle Blues in EAEGBE Tuning
The next in this series of Zoom classes on open/alternate tunings used in Country Blues will be held this coming Saturday, May 4, at 10:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time, and will focus on EAEGBE tuning. This tuning is one of the best-kept secrets in fingerstyle blues but has nonetheless had its share of ace practitioners down through the years. We’ll open the class by getting oriented to where the blues scale sits in it and examine different options for playing the I, IV and V7 chords. Then we’ll look at how some of the players who specialized in the tuning, like Furry Lewis, Clifford Gibson and Henry Spaulding played in the tuning. We’ll then look at other possibilities the tuning makes available that are yet to be utilized and conclude with a question-and-answer period.
The class will be recorded and sent to all participants so you’ll be able to review the lesson content. Persons interested in the class who are unable to attend the day it is offered may still purchase it and receive the film of the class, which is sent to all purchasers immediately following the presentation. Cost of the class is $40.00. To sign up, make a payment to my account at paypal.com as per the instructions at https://johnmillerguitar.com/teaching.html . Once I’ve been notified that payment has been made, I’ll send you an invitation. I hope to see you there!
All best,
Johnm
