As a transplanted Texan who moved to Chicago in the '50s, Freddie rubbed shoulders with the likes of Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Magic Sam. Freddie's vast repertoire of blues classics offers cool hooks, hot solos, and foot-tapping rhythms for the contemporary electric guitarist. Host Duke Robillard (Roomful of Blues, Fabulous Thunderbirds) gives invaluable insights into the style of this legendary guitarist. He takes you through a select group of Freddie's greatest songs (Hideaway • San-Ho-Zay • The Stumble • Sen-sa-shun) lick by lick, revealing the inner workings of this master musician.

Arguably the heaviest bluesman ever, Muddy Waters electrified the Chicago blues world with the 1948 release of his first single. By taking the Robert Johnson and Son House-inspired acoustic Delta blues that he had played in Mississippi and firing it up with raw amplification, he created the blueprint for generations of Chicago blues players.

Bob Margolin played guitar in Muddy Waters' band for seven years in the '70s, absorbing his music first-hand. In this video, he shares the secrets of Muddy's solo guitar and ensemble work and covers slow blues, boogie blues, slide guitar and guitar bass lines in standard and open tunings. Bob even plays an original song that he wrote as a tribute to his former mentor.

Includes the songs: Blow Wind Blow • I Can't Be Satisfied • Rollin' and Tumblin' • Big Leg Woman • more.

As a special bonus, this video includes rare performance footage of Muddy.
