Muddy Waters

Muddy Waters (1913-1983) - Muddy was one of the greatest urban blues singers of the late 20th century, but he was also a fantastic guitar player. Muddy's electrified bottleneck took traditional country/acoustic blues and gave it a raw power that has rarely been captured on record. Muddy used his bottleneck on an electric guitar set-up with heavy strings (.12 on high E). He played in both Open G tuning and standard tuning.
