Tribute to Charles Henry "Baby" Tate (1916-72), a great Carolina bluesman who sadly died before recognition. His main influences were Blind Boy Fuller (who he knew) and Lightnin' Hopkins. Although he recorded quite a few songs for the Trix label they were never issued. His only full cd is available on the Bluesville label (#BV1072)
I learned this particular instrumental piece from a cd called "The Blues" Folkways A101 (still available at Smithsonean). The material of this cd was recorded for a shortfilm with the same title by Sam Charters. It also features Furry Lewis and Pink Anderson.
I'm in standard tuning, key of E, and playing my L-00v made by John Gréven.
Note I use an unwound G string (018), something many bluesmen did, to get a more twangy sound when bending.
I did a five part LESSON on this tune, here's the link to the first one
