Check out my latest lesson, sponsored by a student, on "Just Pickin'" by Freddie King, with lots of attention on the strumming patterns you could do if you were playing rhythm. Have fun with this one! youtu.be/-3g6Jy7CJLE?...

A lot of Merline Johnson's bio is missing, but she left some good music as the Yas Yas Girl. Her birthday is uncertain, her death date unknown. This was recorded in 1937ish.

There's #blues in my bread box

Happy Monday.
