Produced by Stefan Grossman’s Guitar Workshop. On this DVD, Erin takes you through songs by early female players of finger-style country blues, including Memphis Minnie, Elvie Thomas, Geeshie Wiley, and Jesse Mae Hemphill.
Memphis Minnie songs include early material in Open G (Spanish tuning) including: Can I Do It For You, Where Is My Good Man At, What's The Matter With The Mill, and When The Levee Breaks. Then Erin teaches two of her songs in Standard tuning: I'm a Bad Luck Woman (E), and Nothing In Rambling (G), and shows you some cool Memphis Minnie licks you can use in your playing!
Other songs and artists include Mattie Delaney, Down The Big Road Blues (Open G) - Elvie Thomas, Motherless Chile (E) - Geeshie Wiley, Pick Poor Robin Clean (C) - and Jessie Mae Hemphill, I'm So Glad (Open D).
Each tune is taught phrase by phrase and played slowly on a split-screen. Bonus audio tracks of the original recordings are included. Also included: pdf tablature, plus interviews with Erin!
