Tampa Red’s “Boogie Woogie Dance,” Part 1
This subject of this slide lesson, “Boogie Woogie Dance,” comes from the great Tampa Red, who recorded from the 1920s all the way into the 1960s, but his greatest recordings were made in the late ’20s and early to mid ’30s. He mostly played in open-D tuning, and his instrumental tune “Boogie Woogie Dance” is in that tuning. Orville plays it through and then takes it apart, phrase by phrase, starting by showing you open-D tuning and the chords you’ll play in “Boogie Woogie Dance.” You’ll learn the first 12-bar melody (which is the signature phrase of the tune and is repeated at the end) in this video.
