Another Memphis Minnie Lesson...New Bumble Bee Blues

Here's a tutorial on a different rendition of Bumble Bee Blues, recorded by the great Memphis Minnie (one of the few female pre-war blues artists similar to Geeshie Wiley & her haunting Last Kind Words). I made one a while back (about a month ago) that is slightly unlearnable just because of the awkwardness of the positions and therefore LH/RH demands...that first version is more of an exercise to test your ability to play fingerstyle.

This new rendition, actually entitled New Bumble Bee Blues, is much more accessible and interesting from a lick-learning point of view. Maybe, check it out if you're looking for some simple but catchy single note blues lines to learn.
