Title: Ernie Hawkins -Blind Willie McTell
Review: Ernie Hawkins presents and instructs well as well as being a v. fine guitar player himself. Perhaps its not strictly necessary to go into all the 12 string detail and retuning - which is difficult to follow anyway as he assumes a lot of the learner who is used to playing six srings - but it illustrates his reverence to the original and one can easily adapt. Not that interested in the bottle neck pieces, but first tunes are great, and as always, one benefits by being able not only to learn these McTell pieces but adapt bits and pieces and techniques to other tunes by MCtell and other artists, which I'm sure Hawkins would expect.
Is the review positive or negative?
