Charlie Patton, better known as Charley Patton was born in 1891 or 1894. He died on the Heathman-Dedham plantation near Indianola, Mississippi, from heart disease on April 28, 1934. Compare the guitar accompaniment to Patton’s “34 Blues,” which is slower but virtually the same. Just about every Charley Patton song has a really cool guitar part in it. “Down the Dirt Road Blues” is no exception – this little 2-bar turnaround riff is a great example of how much fun it can be to play the guitar this way. We’re capoed up one fret and we’re in the key of C. The turnaround should be played in an expressive style, snapping the bass strings (played with the thumb) against the fretboard.

Country Blues Guitar Lessons – Dirt Road Blues – Paul Rishell – Low Down Rounder
Sep 25th
FULL COURSE, TAB, JAM TRACKS: truefire.at More Free Guitar Lessons: bit.ly On Twitter – www.twitter.com On Facebook – www.truefire.com Now let’s work with “Low Down Rounder” by Peg Leg Howell (Columbia, Atlanta 1928). Peg Leg Howell (March 5, 1888 – August 11, 1966) taught himself guitar at the age of 21. A gunshot wound sustained in a fight caused him to lose his leg. In 1923 he moved to Atlanta, Georgia and began playing on street corners, but also served a term in prison for bootlegging. He made his first recordings for Columbia in 1926. “New Prison Blues” was written when in prison for bootlegging liquor, and one of the first country blues to be issued. His recorded repertoire covered ballads, ragtime and jazz, as well as blues. He died in Atlanta in 1966. I actually got the guitar parts in the song from a version that was recorded by Spider John Koerner. We’re in open D tuning; D, A, D, F#, A, D.
