Mississippi Blues arranged by Tim Sparks

Learn how to play "Mississippi Blues"

A Fingerstyle Masterclass with Tim Sparks: MP3 | PDF When Alan Lomax recorded Willie Brown's 'Mississippi Blues' in 1942 for the Library of Congress, he captured one of the most enduring and inventive examples of Fingerstyle Guitar counterpoint you'll ever hear. Even though Willie Brown only recorded a handful of tunes, his Mississippi Blues is one of the all-time great pieces of Country Blues Guitar, (or any style of Guitar for that matter).

Sparks' variations on Willie Brown's motifs create a hard-driving, Boogie-Woogie shuffle that both supercharges and pays tribute to the original. He borrows riffs from the likes of Scrapper Blackwell and Brownie McGhee to create an arrangement full of great licks and ideas you can have a lot of fun with!
