Title: Mississippi FRED McDOWELL - Shake 'em On Down
Description: FRED McDOWELL - Shake 'em On Down. Fred McDowell, (January 12th 1904 - July 3, 1972,) often known as Mississippi Fred McDowell, was a blues singer and guitar player in the North Mississippi style. McDowell was born in Rossville, Tennessee, near Memphis. His parents, who were farmers, died when McDowell was a youth. He started playing guitar at the age of 14 and played at dances around Rossville. Wanting a change from ploughing fields, he moved to Memphis in 1926 where he worked in a number of jobs and played music for tips. He settled in Como, Mississippi, about 40 miles south of Memphis, in 1940 or 1941, and worked steadily as a farmer, continuing to perform music at dances, and picnics. Initially he played slide guitar using a pocket knife and then a slide made from a beef rib bone, later switching to a glass slide for its clearer sound. He played with the slide on his ring finger. While commonly lumped together with 'Delta Blues singers,' McDowell actually may be considered the first of the bluesmen from the 'North Mississippi' region - parallel to, but somewhat east of the Delta region - to achieve widespread recognition for his work. A version of the state's signature musical form somewhat closer in structure to its African roots (often eschewing the chord change for the hypnotic effect of the droning, single chord vamp), the North Mississippi style (or at least its aesthetic) may be heard to have been carried on in the music of such figures as Junior Kimbrough and ...

According to the music journalist Tony Russell, "Shines was that rare being, a blues artist who overcame age and rustiness to make music that stood up beside the work of his youth. When Shines came back to the blues in 1965 he was 50, yet his voice had the leonine power of a dozen years before, when he made records his reputation was based on".[2] Biography He was born John Ned Shines in Frayser, Tennessee.[1] He spent most of his childhood in Memphis, Tennessee playing slide guitar at an early age in local jukes and for tips on the streets.[1] He was "inspired by the likes of Charley Patton, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Lonnie Johnson, and the young Howlin' Wolf",[1] but he was taught to play the guitar by his mother.[1 ...

Title: Woke Up This Morning - Gospel Slide Blues - Fred McDowell
Description: The complete, rather long title of this gospel song is "Woke Up This Morning With My Mind On Jezus" I learned it from Mississippi Fred McDowell's cd "First Recordings" (1959), still available on the Rounder label. The song is a real gem, simple yet mesmerising. I'm surprised Fred McDowell recorded it only once, the day of his discovery. I'm in open D and playing an old Stella. You'll find this song also on my cd, available at www.youtunerecords.com Free TABLATURE and lesson available tab at www.daddystovepipe.com Lesson at http New slidelesson dvd available at www.youtuberecords.com

Title: You Gotta Move - The Rolling Stones (Cover)
Description: You Gotta Move" is a song written by Fred McDowell and Rev. Gary Davis. Being a well-known song of McDowell's, it was most famously recorded by the British rock and roll band The Rolling Stones and is featured on their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. The song has a haunting and raw acoustic blues-riff and the lyrics has a clear touch of gospel, as Mick Jagger sings as if he were imitating a Southern Black dialect. It's a rustic, Delta blues song that's led on by Charlie Watts' minimalistic drumming and cymbal smashing, Mick Taylor's fierce el-guitar and some ritualistic backup vocals, and ends with an almost falsetto note, in a tradition of many gospel songs. Words and Music By Mississippi Fred McDowell and Rev Gary Davis You Gotta Move Lyrics, You got to move ,You got to move ,You got to move child, You got to move, But when the Lord ,Gets ready ,You got to move You may be high,You may be low,You may be rich, child You may be po', But when the Lord gets ready,You've got to move You see that woman,That walk the street,You see the policeman Out on his beat But when the Lord gets ready,You got to move ..(Cover of the Rolling Stones Rendition) Performed By The Too Old For Bullshit Bluesband....

Title: How to Play Bottleneck Blues Slide Guitar CD 1 Open D Tuning Lesson 1 Introduction
Description: CD 1 Introduction Lesson One: General Information Cigar Box Guitar Lessons included CD PLAYS ON YOUR COMPUTER CD contains a tablature sheet music file Almost 2 hours long BOTTLENECK SLIDE GUITAR is based on an early one string folk instrument called the Diddley-Bow, and the traditional playing style of Hawaiian Guitar. The early Blues Masters of the 1920s and 30s, would place a bottleneck from a wine bottle, or a short piece of metal pipe on their finger. Using this as a slide, they could move up and down along the strings of a guitar imitating singing or the cries and moans of the human voice. This style uses an early method of tuning the guitar called open tuning, that is also used to play banjo. The guitar is tuned to a D or E chord, that actually makes it easier to learn music theory. The course starts with learning to play single note melody lines on one string. Next, by adding a second note harmony is created. Then a third note creates chords. The final song is embellished by adding strumming techniques and bottleneck slide. THIS CD WILL NOT ONLY TEACH YOU HOW TO PLAY BOTTLENECK GUITAR, BUT HOW TO CREATE AND ARRANGE SONGS. The Blues songs presented on this cd are in the style of Robert Johnson, Mississippi Fred McDowell, Tommy Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Howlin' Wolf, and Muddy Waters .Traditional Country Gospel songs are also taught because they were a major influence in the development of the Blues.
