#Westone guitar for sale how to
I have recored this video to explain to you in simple terms how to play music heard from the 1880's to the 1930's on a 3 string guitar. If the old school blues musicians of the 1880's didn't know music theory or complicated math, than neither do you.
The truth is you do not need to know any math, chords, or complicated music structure to play great sounding 3 string guitar. Many of them could not even read the written word! Blues and early slide guitar music that was played on these homemade guitars was created by people who most often did not know any music theory or what chords and keys were. Three string guitars are fun and easy to play. I wanted to make an album that was as close as possible to the music played from the past. Recording this music was a labor of love. This album has a great mix of both vintage styles from the early 1900's as well as some modern Chicago style electric Blues.
Those shoes could tell a story all of their own, Juke Joints, street busking, and a whole lot a' Blues. "Them shoes a talkin' " Image those cool leather shoes taking a stroll down the sidewalk in a small dusty town in the deep south. and check out those two-tone shoes he's wearing! So, I followed them and here is the record of emotions and music that I've recorded on 3 and 4 string guitars. This image became so inspiring for me to look at, I would come up with different concepts and ideas for music to record. This was art that I decided to turn into an album cover.
In early 2021, I created an old 1920's style watercolor image of a young man playing Blues on a cigar box guitar. If you want to learn how to play old time cigar box blues yourself, the easiest way to learn is by listening to cigar box guitar music. This is an all Delta Blues that was recorded on 3 and 4 string guitars. Have a listen - there is no singing, no band. This music is old school blues music played on homemade guitars.
