Mississippi John Hurt - The Gospel Guitar Of Mississippi John Hurt - DVD
Mississippi John Hurt is certainly renowned for his blues songs, whether tales of murder like Stack O’Lee and Frankie or the tongue-in-cheek Candy Man Blues, yet it is his gospel songs that may more accurately reflect the heart of the man himself; gentle yet powerful, simple yet substantial. In this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you step by step through Mississippi John Hurt’s most celebrated and inspiring gospel songs in the keys of G, C, D and E. Whether beginner or intermediate you will learn to pick in the distinctive “Hurt” style and build a large repertoire of classic gospel country blues. A detailed tab/music booklet is included as a PDF file on the DVD. In addition the original old recordings of all the tunes are included. Titles include: "Do Lord Remember Me, Here I Am Oh Lord Send Me, Blind Man Sit In The Way And Cried, Since I’ve Laid My Burden Down, Weeping and Wailing, Blessed Be The Name, Praying On The Old Camp Ground, Nearer My God To Thee, Beulah Land and Oh Mary Don’t You Weep".

Mississippi John Hurt - Vol I - DVD
Taught by John Miller. Mississippi John Hurt's appeal was universal, he was very much a musician of his time and place, playing within a tradition, but mapping out his own territory with subtleties of touch, phrasing and use of the guitar that were all his own. Though famed for fingerpicking and alternating bass style, John would often employ omitted beats or syncopated runs, rather than sticking to an unvaried alternation. Also, unlike many musicians of his region, he was comfortable playing in a variety of keys, routinely working in E, A, D, G, and C in standard tuning, as well as Open G, Open D and Open G tunings. This video presents instruction in John Hurt's repertoire, with songs chosen to showcase his playing in different keys. It also includes rare documentary silent film footage of Mississippi John Hurt playing guitar at his home in Washington, D.C. Songs include: "Spike Driver Blues, My Creole Belle, Monday Morning Blues, Slidin' Delta, See See Rider, Louis Collins, Frankie".
