Stefan Grossman teaches Big Bill Broonzy's classic "Willie Mae." From the DVD "Country Blues Guitar: A Three Volume DVD Collection." More info at stefan-grossma...
I need to tell anyone interested that I bought Stephans books and tuition records in the seventies and I persevered because I was determined and started to get an ear for how it worked.....got my first gig with a band because I could play this way and not many were doing it...ended up playing round the world and made a living....Stephans teaching is wonderful and if your determined buy his material it was.a brilliant stepping stone to a life as a working musician.....thank you mr grossman you changed my life....
Been playing for decades with no talent but can't put the instrument down, your lessons on RUclips has given a whole new life for me and the instrument... can't thank ya enough, a Canadian living in Mexico
Thanks Mr. Stephan !
Jim

PS see Elisabeth Cotton live here 1970's and BB King too.
I THINK the guitar he is playing is a “furch” which is a European brand but Stephan being an American industrial primordial player would say it is an American brand ?
Magnifique. And the song happens to be one of my prefered ones... "Got a girl called Willy Mae and she liiiives in the low lowlands"..🎵.🎶
you're right man--I have to show my guitar who's boss. As it stands, I do all his laundry and dishes
Stefan then ripped this off, then messed around with it and gave it a different title and put it on "Yazoo Basin Boogie" and claimed he'd written it...
Yep! Stefan's one of the best teachers around for this style. I've learned so much from him over the years.
If you're new and thinking about taking up this type of guitar playing, order some of his beginner lessons and get started. You won't regret it and you'll pick it up fast.
Can't say enough good about Mr. Grossman.
I remember when I was I kid I thought for the a chord you put a finger per string hehe
Stefan - there was a David Bowie exhibit in Chicago a few years ago and they had an old handbill of a concert where you were playing on stage with Bowie - sometime back in the '60's, maybe in New York. I was proud to tell everyone what a great blues musician you are.
I'd like to know how to play the part of 5:22 and 5:31. I can't tell how he is using the ring finger and the pinkie.
Great to hear "The greats" being shared by a great teacher. Thankyou from the Scottish Highlands
One of the best teachers around .. there are quite a few that want to make money etc .. but Stefan deserves it ..... brilliant and well put together so anyone can learn .
Stefan Grossman WOW !!!! what a great guitar player and communicator .Another Great Lesson. Love this tune .Thanks Alot
What's so amazing to me is that Stephan has a string attack so much like the original man, which for me almost counts for more than the notes.
Stefan still kicks rump....
Stephan, why are you tuned down a half step
does Maestro Grossman teach 'The Glory Of Love' per chance? i'm goinst buy me a dvd after this gr8 lesson!!
That syncopated bass is a killer
Dam you have hair 🎉🎉🎉😅
What guage strings pleasae?
I just want to learn this song and play it forever
Roman Alvarado 😯
Roman, with all due respect, learn the "song" but take the different segments and create your own stuff. Add a Robert Johnson key of A turn around and noodle around for other notes invent something using this "Willie Mae" as a "building block" soon you'll get your own style, listen to others, as Pablo Picasso said, "good artists borrow, great artists steal" You can find lesson on R. Johnson turn arounds on utube😯
God bless you Stefan Grossman. The explanation about the monotonic bass and the blues lick i phenomenal. He is a great teacher and player.
is there a tab for this?
A really good player and teacher--listen to what he has to say here and elsewhere! I say that based on some experience, since I've been learning from him off and on since 1969 (Elektra's How to Play Blues Guitar, the Oak books on country blues ..). A generous man, a class act.
Perhaps you should all listen to the Great Man himself as I did though stefen has the knowlege, get the real feel of the tune if you can from Big Bill What a Great man!!!!
@cheechwizrd actually he says in the video it's not that hard--and it's not. If you know a couple positions of the pentatonic scale can get your thumb to thump the bass when you tap your foot, you can get the song down decently in a couple months. Practice!
Stefan lived with and learned from the likes of Gary Davis. MJH and Son House. He took the trouble to learn exactly how they played in order to keep the blues alive. Thanks Stefan for all that.
What a great teacher /player! One of the few links left to 'The Deep Blues...' taught by a master and in the learning becomes a master himself!
Would love to study with Maestro Grossman someday! The Ooh Poo Pa Doo! Haha cheers
I think you are one of the greatest guitar players and teachers!! Greetings from The Netherlands!
COOL 👍
you're a beautiful man Stefan! what a great way to honor the blues, thanks!
@Mikey4lock yep. alot of people like to play, but don't take the time to TRULY, TRULY listen to the good stuff.
Stefan you are a legend! Read some of your stuff about brownie and are a proper inspiration to me! Cheers brother!
Big bill is one of the best, his sound is like no other laid back an has that signature sound, would stop a lot an sing an go right back in with the call an response ya know what I mean
He uses the bass in a different way when he first plays the song and when he shows it in the split screen - it alternates them in the former and keeps a steadier one in the latter. Also it is amazing what he does when he plays the A after the E, that quick ring finger movement is crazy. This guy is an A class player
this is exactly how to teach a song. the split screen with slowed down playing is so so so useful
Yes, it's included in the DVD lesson. It cost around $25. You better start saving... Sorry!!!
Stefan's tearing that guitar up, boy.
Not tuned to 440......a little sharp...
Bill Broonzy doesn't use anything but 1 finger and a thumb, though.
Just cause he plays that way doesnt mean that you have to pay his songs that way. I hate when people say stupid stuff like this
Why are the bottom 4 strings called the top 4 strings?
The high strings are called the top and the low strings are called the bottom thats just how it is
Actually this sounds like Mule Riding Blues by Big Bill Broonzy
+Nick Marra Yep, Big BIll used this for both tunes.
Great lesson!!!! I always enjoy his videos- however this song is quite a bit like Mississippi John hurts "Monday morning blues"..... Maybe it is just me""". But great lesson nonetheless!!!!!
Mike
+mchardwick It does. One big diff is that Hurt uses the alternating bass whereas Broonzy uses the single string bass.
nice to have a highly articulate instructor--thanks
Why do you have your guitar tuned down a 1/2 step?
I love acoustic blues and I LOVE YOU MR. GROSSMAN.
Totally awesome thank you
whats the chord between the 2 A chords you play? it goes D A ? A
D A ? A E E7 D A.
sounds like an e but idk. this dude is too smart or fast. i like when he said " it's not so difficult" lol like its easy to even do the constant bass note while you finger pick other notes.
What a great teaching style he has.
That is just fantastic!
amazing thank you so much
Great
lovin it...
So cool
hot dog
👏👏✨✨✨✨✨🎸

Hi Stefan thank you for taking the time are you in standard tuning
taking the time? you must be joking? fuck that guy his good but fucking bad teacher
Maybe you just cant learn bud
How long did he actually live with Rev. Davis?
Still living with him. Me too.
All the way during the beginning of the video, I keep telling myself: "wow that's eerily similar to Monday Morning blues by MJH". Goes to the alternating bass, gives the MJH reference, mind blown. I think I prefer MJH's Monday Morning blues, but great performance still.
What kind of guitar is that?
an expensive one .
+1sosalini $9000 and up. lol
One getting played by Stephan Grossman
any body know a guy betwen the roy rogers that take soo long and this washishu retired coke freaks that can teach the same songs?or a logiciel to get slow motion?
Phen-bloody-omenal! 5 stars, twice!
