DVD – Rory Block Teaches the Guitar of Robert Johnson: Vol. 2 – Exploring the Repertoire

On Rory’s second installment of her journey into the great blues artist’s legacy, she provides complete note-by-note, lick-by-lick instruction for three of his most powerful songs: “Cross Road Blues” in open G and featuring myriad techniques; “Ramblin’ on My Mind” using an unusual altered tuning; and “Hellhound on My Trail” a non-slide blues in open D. Rory takes each song apart, putting a microscope on the intros, chord positions, slide techniques, picking, strumming and other skills needed to play them right. Intermediate/advanced. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 105 min.
