_ So the way I got started with guitar
was it had nothing to do with blues, really.
[N] Well, not nothing to do.
It was a good preparation for blues, but it wasn't blues.
_ _ I found that when I turned 12, my mom
was telling me I had to take music lessons.
She thought I should take music lessons.
She was, she played a little guitar, a little banjo,
I guess she said, _ you can do either guitar or banjo.
And I chose guitar because it was better for accompanying
_ _ _ yourself while singing.
And I was doing some singing, and I like to sing. _
And _ I took lessons, actually, from a guy
that mainly played banjo.
It was Roger Sprung.
_ And he's still playing banjo today.
And he _ was a real good teacher for me as a beginner
because he started me out _ fairly, pretty much right away.
And he taught me some basic patterns.
But then almost immediately, I was figuring out songs
for myself using those patterns.
And he taught me this Carter family thumb lead style.
And that was the first time I was figuring [E] stuff out [C] by ear.
[Gm] _
[C] _ _ _ That [Dm] _ _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ kind of stuff, and that's not too hard.
A good place to start if you're trying to figure out stuff
by ear because the notes are kind of right in there
with the [Dm] chords.
_ So I was doing that.
And then he taught me alternating bass
kind of [G] finger picking with a _ couple little patterns.
And that wasn't too long before he
had me figuring stuff out by ear _ in that pattern.
And it didn't really [N] matter so much what the songs were,
although they're generally simple folk songs
or whatever I knew I think he'd have me try and do.
But the fact that I was using my ear
was a big help to me _ in getting me started _ _ hearing stuff
rather than just learning it. _ _ _
So he was a great first teacher for me.
_ _ And then after a while, _ I stopped that
because I kind of got _ that, if you know what I mean.
And _ I took lessons from a few other people.
But the main guy was Bob Zaidman,
who was at the Guitar Study Center at that time.
And he was the first guy to _ _ _ play finger picking with blues
_ _ as the basic style in it.
And he also started turning me on to all these records.
I remember the Mama Let Me Lay It On You record on Yazoo particularly.
_ _ It's got Josh White on the cover.
And it's got Willie Walker, who's just unbelievable.
And this Wilson Dam with Blind Blake on guitar.
It's just amazing stuff to me.
And that got me started _ buying all these reissues of the blues
records and _ really getting more and more interested in that. _ _
