We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with new sheet music, re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Corey:
In this lesson we will begin to work on "Sitting on Top of the World" by the great Mississippi Sheiks. I play my version of the song and then we dive into the fundamentals of this tune. I emphasize the importance of a light touch and the importance of the thumb and the bass line. This is a classic blues tune that is also the gateway to other similar tunes by many other artists (i.e. Tampa Red's repertoire).
Honor!
Corey Harris
