Blind Blake was one of the 20th Century’s premier guitarists, whose syncopated fingerpicking has never been equaled. This two-session class will seek to unlock one of his most idiosyncratic arrangements — the legendary “Police Dog Blues,” released by the Paramount Company in 1930. Set in open D tuning, this tune has confounded fingerpickers for decades. This class is for experienced players who are familiar with open D tuning and will be able to spend time working on the arrangement between sessions.
