An Introduction To Playing The Blues

Posted on | | 1 Comment


It’s been a while since the blues has been featured in these pages, so here is an introduction to the blues from one of the masters.

Hawkeye Herman has been playing the blues since he was a teenager. That’s over fifty years. He learnt to play from people like Son House, Brownie McGhee, Bukka White, Sam Chatmon and Lightnin’ Hopkins.

Hawkeye has played at folk and blues festivals all over the US and Europe, gathering a crowd of devoted fans along the way.

In this video Hawkeye talks about moving chords and scales up the guitar neck and expressing yourself through blues music.
