A New individual lesson from Toby Walker
Robert Johnson's 'I believe I'll dust My broom'

Previously this was only available as part of the D pack.



Robert Johnson, probably one of the most popular and celebrated early blues guitarists of 20th century. His skills were far ahead of this time and his recordings from 1936 and 1937 influenced generations of musicians. 'I Believe I'll Dust My Broom' lay the groundwork for much of the Chicago blues that was to come later.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to sound like a piano, from which Johnson probably got his 'shuffle' sound from. You'll learn how to play a triplet figure on the higher strings while maintaining a 'shuffle' rhythm in the bass, something that all the boogie-woogie piano players did with their right and left hands.

For the advanced students, you'll learn how to play lead guitar licks above that same shuffle rhythm in the bass, sounding like two guitars playing at the same time!!

The performance. This is the way I may play the song in performance, but I always add improvisations so it never comes out the same.

The guitar: 1936 Kalamazoo 'Carson Robinson' KG-14
