For Episodes 1 and 2 of this series, we mostly covered the development of a uniquely American approach to playing the guitar, presenting it as an instrument uniquely different from the European style, which was far more formalized.
However, all of this change and innovation didn’t do very much (yet) to popularize the instrument among middle class (read “White”) Americans. This show, then, starts by focusing on a specific artist that was responsible for popularizing the instrument and placing it into the mainstream of American culture. From there we cover blues players who would eventually become guitar icons (but not before their death).
