Genesis by Jorma Kaukonen - Acoustic Guitar Lesson Preview from Totally Guitars

Complete lesson here: totallyguitars...
Jorma Kaukonen has been a huge influence on fingerstyle guitar players since Surrealistic Pillow by The Jefferson Airplane appeared in 1967. After albums with them and three with Hot Tuna, his collaborative efforts with Airplane bassist Jack Cassidy, he released his first solo album Quah in 1974. The lead track from the record was Genesis, a touching ballad with some blues tinges reminiscent of his Country Blues roots.
This lesson covers the way it appeared then as well as some of the variations that evolved over the years. It is played with a capo at the second fret in the relative key of A Mixolydian, and is mostly an alternating bass series of chords, where the progression is really only four measures long. It still should present a few new techniques and tricks to most players.

Quah is the album that made me want to learn the guitar. Jorma is a very underrated songwriter.

[@TGAcousticLessons]

One of my all time favorites as well. Conveniently, I had been playing for a few years when it came out and I spent hours working out most of the songs. It has been really fun to revisit them all these years later. Neil

Hey Lionel, you are right about Jorma's songs. Many are great but generally only known to guitar players. Neil

What brand and model is the guitar your playing?

It was built by Ed Claxton in Santa Cruz, Northern California.

@@TGAcousticLessons So does this mean it was specifically tailored made for you? What is the name of the guitar I noticed there’s no brand name on the guitar and what model if I wanted to order one exactly like that so I can play as good as you just kidding!!!😀Do they still sell that model type and how old is the guitar and where can I order through?
