Description
What will you learn? In this course you will learn the essential skills used in the delta/country blues style. We will cover fingerpicking patterns, chords formats, blues licks and turnaround and cover some basic theory. If you're looking to learn to play like your blues heroes and channel your inner Robert Johnson then you've come to the right place. From the creator and host of the Blues Guitar Show podcast comes this quick and effective intro course to the style of delta blues. We will begin from looking at how to simultaneously hold down the rhythm with the picking hand thumb and create cool melodies with our fingers. Artists that use this style include Skip James, Robert Johnson, Bukka White, John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy, John Lee Hooker and others. Who is this for?This course is for any players looking to get into the style or beginners on the instrument with a love for the acoustic blues. Notes will be written in both Tab and traditional music so there shouldn't be too much of an uphill battle with the reading. You can rewind and re-watch each part as many times as you need to ensure you have all the picking patterns down and fully get the most out of it. Whats next? Once you've completed this course you'll be able to create your own 12-bar blues in a couple of different keys using a few different finger picking patterns that can be applied to any blues classic or be utilized to create your own music.
