Acoustic Blues Guitar Lessons Review
I recently posted a new review on the site on Jim Bruce’s Ragtime & Blues Guitar Fingerpicking Course, which has 16 full length videos, each of which will teach you to play a classic blues or ragtime song in a fingerpicking style.
If you’d like to build your repertoire of guitar pieces and expand your playing style to include fingerstyle guitar and even slide guitar, then it’d be worth having more of a look at this course.
Here’s a video preview of Jim giving an intro to the fingerpicking blues guitar style, including the intro and a verse of a song called ‘Truckin Little Baby‘ by Blind Boy Fuller:
The 16 video lessons in the course are in the same style, with full tab for the songs, and closeups of the left & right hand technique.
What’s good is that each video covers learning a particular song completely, taken a section at a time. So instead of just getting a general overview of the technique, you’ll get to learn to be able to play a whole song through by the end of the video.
One of the videos will teach you to play a version of ‘Crossroads‘, by Robert Johnson, with full details of the slide guitar technique you’ll need to play this song effectively.
So take a look at our in-depth review of Jim’s Acoustic Blues Guitar Lessons, or for more info on the course itself, click here.
