Catfish Keith Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:

For over 30 years I've toured the world with my own style of fingerpicking and bottleneck slide acoustic blues and roots guitar, played on acoustic steel string and National resophonic guitars. Delta Blues, the Deepest Gospel, Ragtime, Trance-Inducing Mississippi Hill Country Blues, Old Time Country, Early Jazz, Island Music and more. Play bass, melody, harmony and rhythm, sound like a whole band!

My influences are:

Blind Willie Johnson, Lonnie Johnson, Charley Patton, Bukka White, Mississippi Fred MacDowell, Jessie Mae Hemphill, Johnny Shines, Django Rhinehart, Robert Johnson, Sol Hoopii, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Leadbelly, Leo Kottke, Carter Family, Hank Williams, Mississippi John Hurt, Jack Teagarden, Son House, Honeyboy Edwards, Big Joe Williams, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmie Rodgers, Louis Armstrong, Little Richard
