I learned Mississippi John Hurt’s arrangement of “Louis Collins” from Donald Garwood’s blues guitar book, which is long out of print but was fundamental to my early understanding of Hurt’s style - for example, his habit of getting a high A note while playing a G or C chord by just moving the chord up two frets. ![]()
