❤️🔥 Listen now to my debut EP, "Runaway Girl," available on all streaming platforms, online music retailers, and my website! ❤️🔥On this day (March 20) in 1915, a legend was born! Happy birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe: the original soul sister, the godmother of rock and roll! Sister Rosetta was a trailblazer and incredible inspiration to so many singers, songwriters, and guitarists who came after her - myself included.
As a Black female guitarist, I find it of vital importance to preserve Sister Rosetta's legacy. She should never be forgotten, nor should the power or scope of her presence in music history be downplayed, rewritten, or erased. Her story should always be told, and she should receive the same level of reverence given to many of her non-Black, male contemporaries.
To honor this queen's heavenly birthday (she'd be 108 years old if she were still alive), I decided to play this 'Up Above My Head'-style electric blues rock guitar solo (one of her most popular recordings/performances; if you haven't already seen it, you can watch it here: ), transcribed and published by Guitar Techniques magazine.
Black girls truly are magical! So much love and respect for you, Sister Rosetta...you are the blueprint!
