Big Bill Broonzy's playing in the key of C is infectious, driving and a must for blues guitarists to play. The 1932 recording of Long Tall Mama is a masterpiece. The interplay between the guitar and vocal creates an exciting and very danceable recording. You need to always keep in mind that this music was meant as dance music. Translated to us guitar players, means you're playing must be strong and rhythmic.

This is the perfect arrangement to apply this to. Woody has transcribed Big Bill's playing note for note and includes two variations on the theme.
