THE GUITAR OF

LIGHTNIN' HOPKINS

Guitar Tuition DVD

When you hear someone say "Texas blues guitar" you may immediately think of Stevie Ray Vaughan or Jimmie Vaughan or maybe Freddie King.  The invisible presence, buried deep in every one of their guitar riffs, is the true king of Texas blues, Lightnin' Hopkins.  Lightnin', who knew Blind Lemon Jefferson as a child, is Jimmie Vaughan's favourite guitarist.  Offered here are all the basics, many of the secrets and tricks of Lightnin's deeply accomplished, deceptively simple acoustic Texas boogie guitar style.  This lesson features rare video footage of Lightnin' from the 1950's and 1960's.  Lightnin' plays the tune and then Ernie analyzes it lick by lick.  This video presents a wonderful opportunity to go the source of Texas blues and learn from the master who inspired generations of guitar heroes.  A 32 page tab / music booklet is included.
