Acoustic Fingerstyle – Blues & Ragtime

The ACOUSTIC FINGERSTYLE series of instructional programs will teach you all you need to master the acoustic style. This second lesson will soon help you master some of the classic acoustic RAGTIME and BLUES styles.

Various accompaniment ideas are demonstrated for the 12 bar blues through to the alternate picking styles of players like Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy and Keb Mo. The lesson finishes with a cool Country Blues instrumental.

MAX MILLIGAN, Guitar Institute (London) Instructor and Senior Examiner for Registry of Guitar Tutors (London College of Music) will show how to incorporate the different techniques into your own playing so you too can fingerpick like the professionals.
