Eric Madis, one of the many Blues Instructors at JamPlay.com, talks about playing like Robert Johnson. He will teach what he calls the "Robert Johnson Theme" which combines many of Robert Johnsons best ideas into one amazing fingerstyle Blues composition. There are 3 more lessons on this theme available to JamPlay.com members where he teaches more complex variations and ways to spice up the arrangement.
Actually, Clapton was the one that said that Robert Johnson was the most influential blues guitarist but most of his stuff wasn´t his but borrowed from other players like Skip James and Son House. Of course since the pop audience and the British public figured Clapton as God the all believed it. Johnson is great. So are many others. BTW – he wasn´t old when he died.
Thank you.
That’s right….but also Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson and T.Bone Walker (as well as many others) were very influential. Thanks!
