Level: 1/2
Tuning: Dropped D

Fans of Tommy Johnson will recognize this Sam Chatmon tune as "Big Road Blues." However, it takes Tommy Johnson's classic to new territories with string snaps, fills, licks, and a guitar break that are not played in "Big Road Blues." For this lesson Tom Feldmann combines Chatmon's 1976 recorded version from "Blues at Home 2" with the live performance footage from the Alan Lomax Archive.
