Chicago West Side Blues Master Eddie C Campbell Guitar Lesson

Back in 1994, everyone I knew was abuzz with excitement when the word got out that Eddie C was coming back to Chicago after living in Europe for ten years. The first few notes I heard Eddie play explained why-- his clean, reverb-soaked sound crackled with energy and was unlike anything I'd ever heard before. I went to hear him at every opportunity-- we gradually became friends, shared the stage occasionally and had many conversations which were eye-opening to me. I even interviewed him for The Grey City Journal newspaper ahead of his performance at the University of Chicago Folk Festival. Eddie C Campbell's style is a modernization of the Magic Sam style into something fresh and new. I'll go through some trademark Eddie C-isms and talk about the way he plays a shuffle, his versions of classics like "All Your Love", "Cheaper to Keep Her", and "19 Years Old", and just a few of his many great originals such as "Busted" and "Cool Little Mama". We all miss you Eddie C.
