This excellent Ragtime & Blues Guitar Picking Course has been put together by Jim Bruce, an experienced ragtime & blues fingerstyle guitarist. By working through complete songs and tunes in the style of the classic blues & ragtime players such as Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, Blind Blake and others, you'll get familiar with a whole range of fingerpicking guitar techniques and styles. It also covers alternative tunings and bottleneck/slide techniques.

Each song is presented in its own video. It starts with Jim giving a rendition of the song, which may seem daunting, but by following the step-by-step instructions in the video, with close-ups of left & right hand positions and full tablature, you'll soon be on the way to playing the whole song yourself..
