Six Steps to Playing Finger Style Blues in E: 1 of 6 : Playing the Groove

[word]

I feel like I just struck gold. Fantastic. I've played 47 years and many styles. Every once in a while I try to "clean up" some technique. I'm a flat picking lead guitarist -- but knuckled down on Travis picking a few years ago. I developed my own crude dead thumb blues grooves too, but they are never totally satisfying. This is so clear and logical that you've just hooked me. Thanks for sharing your knowledge of finger style guitar.

My only comment is thank god I was lucky enough to find your lesson today. This was the best 11minutes and :05 seconds I've spent on youtube. A great teacher is a treasure and you are a great teacher. Thank you for sharing.

These video lessons (and I've watched many) are not only effective in their teaching methods but are so entertaining. Love them.

Great lesson. That intro to "getting the grove" is an eyeopener!

[alwoods]

Thanks David. No one breaks it down into clear, digestible pieces like you have. I will really benefit from this series.

Best lesson to start playing blues I ever saw.

Me: Whoa! A lovely groove, 2 bass fills, a chordal move and one very tasty lick all in 11 minutes??? Nah, can't be done.

DavidH: Hold my beer.

Just what I need to start and understand the magic of blues basics💥💥

Excellent intro to the finger style blues. Being new to this, I had a little trouble with the right hand (walk and chew gum), but after a while, I caught on to the syncopation. You were recommended to me by the great London blues guitarist Doug Varty. You are indeed Hamburger helper!

[hopejenning]

Welcome back David. Great lesson. Exactly in my wheelhouse and loving the teaching.

I just paid for this course series before finding it free on the YouTubes, lol, but I don't even want a refund! This material is so good, you earned it. Gonna get through this to prep myself for the Fingerstyle Five. See you again then!

[mstargate]

Champion my man. Natural move forward from my country chords. Thanxs

[MUSICAOBRESTAD]

Love the way you play. It is a great pleasure to be allowed to study the way you play. Thank you.🎶

[johnrobert]

Thank you, nice to finally have some clear instruction on the blues progression

[sinclairashman]

Thank you! This lesson and upcoming series for me is just the right thing at the right time for my playing. I’ve been looking for a way to combine blues rhythm and lead for a while, and your detailed and patient tuition helps people like me to want to practice and get the approach right. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I recently tried learning key to the highway and found several attempts on various sites.... Most just about OK.... Then found Mr Hamburger!! But your name took me back to reading lessons possibly in GP and How to play Probably about 20 years ago!! You are a great teacher! Please carry on!!!
