"Corrina, Corrina" is a 12-bar country blues song in the AAB form. Bo Carter first recorded it in 1928. The Mississippi Sheiks, as the Jackson Blue Boys with Papa Charlie McCoy on vocals, recorded the same song in 1930; this time as "Sweet Alberta" substituting the words sweet Alberta for Corrina, Corrina. The song has become a standard in a number of musical styles, including blues, jazz, rock and roll, Cajun, and Western swing. Mississippi John Hurt played "Corrina, Corrina" in both the key of C and D. In this lesson we focus on his arrangement in C. It's a beautiful guitar piece using first position chord and easy to master.
