Now that you've learned the basics it's time to tackle traditional blues fingerpicking. The heart of this style is your ability to play a rhythmic bass pulse with your thumb. Happy's "easy steps" concept breaks this down into modules that can be digested one element at a time. You'll learn how to "break up the chords" the funky "Lightnin' Hopkins lick," shuffle and boogie-woogie bass lines, blues scales, playing solos up the neck, variations on blues chord progressions and arrangements of "Rock Me, Baby," "Baby Please Don't Go," "Trouble in Mind," and other classics. Early intermediate. Note/tab included as either booklet or PDF file on the disc. 90 min.
