Story of Robert Johnson [part.3]

in #music7 years ago

Recording 32 songs in his life (though there are rumors that there are still 'undiscovered' songs that are a sacred heritage for blues bullies). Disappeared for some time and finally reappeared as a much better guitar player. It is said that he has sold his soul to the Devil in return for his shrewd finesse fretboard. 

Died the world on August 16, 1938, almost certainly because of being killed. Some stories state that he died from being stabbed by a woman or a jealous husband, treated to poisonous whiskey, or simply paying his debt to the devil. 


Games Style Acoustic blues with finger and bottleneck techniques with a variety of tuning tunes, mostly related to the open G set, {Open tuning G (DGDGBD)} with or without capo. Often with lick plays and his vocals.

Technique That Can Be Stolen Use capo with seteman G open on guitar - the guitar whose action (distance between string and fretboard) is high. Try raising the first strings to the high G on the open G strings (DGDGBG) with or without the capo. Lick - lick unison guitar with vocals. Play the triplets with the downstrokes on the top strings while moving the slide down one fret by one fret as an intro or outro. Use your Fingertip to bass the four-to-the-bar bass and use your other finger to play lick leads or chords on the top three strings.
