These guitars were fairly popular with the old guys when they got their second wind during the folk revival of the late 1950s and 1960s. It was great to see them on a stage again. Lonnie Johnson had been working as a janitor and it had been so long since Son House had played, "Blind Owl" Wilson (Canned Heat) supposedly had to help him re-learn his own songs.

BluesKing777 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Mance Lipscomp and Lightnin' Hopkins are on my personal Top 40 list! Highly recommended: Ernie Hawkins from Stefan Grossman Guitar Workshop goes through most of these songs note for note if anyone is interested to learn them: http://www.guitarvideos.com/products/instructors/ernie-hawkins/the-guitar-of-mance-lipscomb-vol-1 http://www.guitarvideos.com/products/instructors/ernie-hawkins/the-guitar-of-lightnin-hopkins Dvds are worth having just for the footage above in hard copy form, and then you can learn from the best. No Affilliation - just great guitar lessons. BluesKing777. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
