St. Louis Blues (A Section) - In-Depth Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson w/TAB on Screen & Free PDF Download

Learn how to play "St. Louis Blues" arranged for fingerstyle guitar. Published in 1914 by W.C. Handy, it is considered the first blues song to ever be written down and published as sheet music. It was the 2nd most recorded song of the 20th century after "Silent Night." Start by listening to the iconic Bessie Smith recording from 1925 (with Louis Armstrong on cornet). Some other favorite versions for me include: David Grisman, Charlie Hunter, Fats Waller and John Fahey. I'm sure you will find many other great ones. In this video we'll cover the A section of the song. I'll be back soon with the B and C sections in some upcoming lessons. Have fun and please let me know if you have any questions! You can download the TAB for free from my website: https://waterhousemusiclessons.com/vi... Thanks for watching! I hope you come away from this video having enriched your musical journey.
