One of the best ways to diversify your skills and make your playing sound more unique is to dig into obscure tracks or to adapt techniques employed by other instrumentalist. In today's session we will do both as we master lead and rhythm techniques performed by pianist James P. Johnson on the iconic 1927 recording of "Backwater Blues." Let's get started!

Will you be posting the tabs in a downloadable format? I can't find them here. Thanks.
