The Best Guitar Instruction I’ve Had
Your Mississippi John Hurt class at the Summer Acoustic Music Week (SAMW) this year has turned out to be some of the best guitar instruction I’ve had thus far.
I got some John Hurt recordings when I got back, listened to them enough to get the music into my head, and am successfully transferring it to my left and right hands. What we learned in the class was the perfect foundation to build on.
