With and start playing right away so that you can eventually get into This is simplified a bit in order to make it easier to become familiar Ly probably more for learning the style than the tune itself. Tab would be identicalįor either open D-minor (DADFAD) or open E-minor (EBEGBE). I guess theīest way to start is by giving the open D-minor tuning (Open E-minor can alsoīe used but is harder on your strings and guitar neck). With the tuning and finger-style playing in this style and add and improviseĪs you go, which is how both Skip and Bowling Green played it. The best way to really do it properly is to become familiar Knew Skip personally and learned from Skip himself. John, often considered toīe probably the foremost living expert on Skip James' Bentonia Style Dm blues,

I learned to play tunes in Skip's style many years ago from a What "notey" original style to more laid-back, but with more intensity in his Skip's style of playing changed a bit over the years, from a some.

I hope it's useful. Enough to get someone started in playing that tune and that style in general if they aren't familiar with it already.Īnyway (along with my usual disclaimers and excuses for crappy sound-quality and vocal and apologies for sometimes over-explaining) here's the Sound Click Link.Īnd the tab below. It's just a couple of verses played in a relatively un-complex way with a few variations put on Sound Click and then the tab, with explanations, to match it. It's not an exact tab of his tune from 1930 (which was extremely "notey", I actually preferred his later recordings where he became more judicious with his playing giving it a more intense "blueness.") (Just i/m/o.) I've had quite a few people ask for this (and lots of e-mail from other people who found a link during searches to an old tab I did a few years back with my address on it which eventually found its way to a number of sites) so I thought I'd do another one with a more detailed explanation of playing in James' Open-Dm (DADFAD) style, using the tune "Hard Time Killing Floor Blues" as kind of an example.
