Brownie McGhee had been a legend to me when, in the spring of 1958, I decided to call him. I had never seen him play, but one 10-inch Folkways lp called Brownie McGhee Blues had been worn thin on my record player, and I knew all the songs by heart. I was astounded by the brilliance and complexity of his blues guitar style. For the next three years, on and off, I made the trip to Brownie s apartment on East 125thStreet and learned a lot more than guitar playing. From Brownie McGhee Blues Guitar by Brownie McGhee and Happy Traum (Oak Publications) Brownie McGhee s rhythmic fingerpicking style, rich accompaniments, intricate lead playing and wide-ranging repertoire influenced generations of guitarists around the world. Happy Traum learned to play directly from this master bluesman, and he knows how to make Brownie s songs and techniques accessible to all aspiring acoustic blues players. Happy starts with the basics so that even novice blues players will be able to get off to a solid start. Concentrating on the keys of E and A, his detailed lesson covers all the musical components that made Brownie s playing distinctive. Happy provides numerous playing tips and advice along with first-hand insights into Brownie s life and music. You ll learn to play classic songs from Brownie s repertoire, including I m Gonna Tell God How You Treat Me, Move to Kansas City, Betty and Dupree, Me and My Dog, Sporting Life, Living with the Blues, Key to the Highway, Blood Red River, Careless Love and Pawnshop Blues. BONUS TRACKS: Listen to Brownie McGhee as he demonstrates eleven songs and techniques that are taught on this DVD. These never-heard audio recordings were recently discovered in Happy s personal archives.
