Got the Blues for the West End
Added 2019-09-29 21:02:23 +0000 UTCHello Patrons,
Coming October 1st I will be uploading my score for Lonnie Johnson's "Got the Blues for the West End" along with an essay theorizing his use of an alternate tuning for most of his early career. Part of his trademark sound comes from his low string, which uses a low D paired with a high octave string tuned to F#! Amazingly, none of the previous books or any commentary on Lonnie Johnson have mentioned this very unique aspect of his tuning. I'm excited for you to hear it here first. Here is an early export of the video that will be released on Youtube, it is currently uploaded as an unlisted video and will go live on Tuesday.

Hi all, I had to swap url's for the above video and now the embedding in the post is broken. Unfortunately Patreon is a little clunky and I can't repair the link. The new video has been uploaded to youtube and can be found here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DHGRiCYSxa4&feature=youtu.be
