Mark Mumea – Early Electric Blues

Early Electric Blues • 1937–1953
Music, history, and guitar from the Maxwell Street era.

Early Electric Blues — my approach is subtraction.
Not changing the music… but stripping it back to what made it work.
So it can breathe again.

This channel focuses on the transition from country blues to early amplified urban sound — small rooms, small amps, and close ensemble playing. The emphasis is feel, restraint, tone, and supporting the song.

Content includes structured Chicago-style guitar lessons, home and street performances, and historical context centered on KFFA, Maxwell Street, Memphis, and Hastings Street.

Lessons include:
• Numbered Segments
• Full Lessons
• Performance / Combo Lessons
• Construct Series (real-world application)

Full lessons and playlists live here on YouTube.
