The CrossGuitar® Method
learn the secret guitar tuning that turned Robert Johnson into the greatest delta blues artist of all time
After thirty years of playing many styles of music on the guitar, including blues, hearing the music of Robert Johnson for the first time on the Robert Johnson/The Complete Recordings in 1990, I was drawn back to the blues with a deeper appreciation. Robert Johnson’s recordings changed my life, musically, and set me on a determined path into solving a mysterious guitar tuning and playing technique I was convinced he used. After endlessly listening and deciphering the songs by Robert Johnson, I discovered an unprecedented guitar tuning which I named devil tuning and spent many years creating and developing the CrossGuitar® Method before authoring Finding Robert Johnson.
Now, you can learn the CrossGuitar® Method and play the music of Robert Johnson in a totally new and unorthodox way by using the secret devil tuning.
This book is the only one of its kind with its particular claims about Robert Johnson's tunings and method of playing the guitar. The claims made in this book are controversial among the status quo of contemporary blues players, but you can test these claims for yourself. I am confident you will be as convinced as I that CrossGuitar® and devil tuning were the method and tuning Mr. Johnson actually used on his recordings and both were most likely taught to him by his mentor, Ike Zimmerman.

I was amazed by it.”
