From Louisiana, Eleanor Ellis is a celebrated master of the country and Piedmont blues, one of the most significant women in the acoustic genre, carrying on the music internationally. Don’t miss this chance to learn the Country and Piedmont Blues, often defined as more uptempo than Delta Blues, with a guitar mimicking a piano, using an alternating bassline and virtuosic fingerpicking, influenced by ragtime piano, gospel, and string band music. Eleanor comes from the true vine. Emerge from this class with new guitar skills and a host of great songs.

It is highly recommended that you also consider taking Eleanor’s Delta Blues Guitar and Song class, and of course, Guitar with Guy Davis as well. You will emerge from this week with a treasure trove of new skills and repertoire in the Blues!
