Guitar Shuffle - Big Bill Broonzy (cover) - Country Blues / Rag

This one's for Stefan and all those guys stirring around the sawdust! (I wish you all the very best!). I probably don't have to mention what an incredible influence Big Bill Broonzy is to my playing, or what a towering figure he is in the blues world. This song in particular "Guitar Shuffle" was the main reason I pursued fingerstyle guitar and especially country blues (I must of listened to it for 2 hours straight the first time I heard it). It literally blew my world open to the fact that one could do so much with so little. Here Bill takes a basic 3 chord progression and toys and teases the listener by just making the most delightful melodies! Just an incredible example of why Big Bill Broonzy is one of the greatest American artists in history (like in baseball he's the 5 tool player: he could write, sing, compose etc.. as good as anyone in blues history) Here I try to duplicate some of Bill's magic.. but that's harder done than said! I throw in a few of my own licks but most are Bill's. Some folks were curious as to what I look like - well that mystery is now solved!
