Fingerstyle blues attracts both beginners and advanced players for its authentic sound, satisfying delivery, and the ability to combine bass, rhythm, and melody into a solo performance.
This collection of licks will teach you how to execute a steady bass line, whilst managing a melody decorated with slides, hammer-ons, and pentatonic scale lines.
We’ll explore Lightnin’ Hopkins-style triplets, delta blues voicings, Muddy Waters-style turnarounds, V IV I turnarounds in E and A, quarter-tone bends, double stops, chord vocabulary, substitutions, and Barrelhouse piano-inspired licks to get your fingerstyle blues chops kick-started.
