Introduction to Fingerpicking the Blues
Level: You are comfortable with first position chords able to keep in time changing between them.
Working in GCEA tuning, Del will teach a song that incorporates
- blues licks
- rhythmic effects
- unusual chord changes
- picking techniques.
Get your right hand picking on a great old Papa Charlie Jackson ragtime blues, “Mama Don’t You Think I Know”.
The workshop will give you an introduction to right hand fingerpicking and to what makes a melody “blue”.
You will learn a song (by ear – no tab).
