Blue Railroad Train, Part 1: Delmore Brothers Version
The Delmore Brothers song “Blue Railroad Train” has been recorded by numerous people, but for guitar players Doc Watson’s and Tony Rice’s versions have become classics. In this lesson, you’ll learn the basic form of the song, with some variations, as well as the Delmore Brothers guitar line and Tony Rice’s solo from his album Manzanita. Scott starts by explaining the different ways Doc, Tony, and the Delmores played what is basically an eight-bar blues, but with an occasional measure or two added for the solo or vocal. Then he shows you the guitar lick from the Delmore Brothers version, taking apart this ten-bar line phrase by phrase.
