1- Barrelhouse Blues
Key of A, standard tuning.
I learned this song from a Blue Goose LP "These Blues Is Meant to Be Barrelhoused", recorded in 1970 and never issued on cd. The song featured the seventeen year old Woody Mann on guitar and Larry Johnson on vocals. Amazing picking by Woody. Full transcription.

2- Depot Blues
Key of E, standard tuning.
Son House recorded this for the Library of Congress in 1941/42 It's in the style of Willie Brown's M&O Blues. This session yielded Son's best recordings and this song is a fine example of this. I transcribed the basic arrangement and the first solo. The second solo is explained in great detail in the videolesson.

My take on this blues classic. Very easy and fun to play.
I transcribed the arrangement behind the vocals and the first solo. The ending is explained in the videolesson.
