Introduction to Fingerstyle Blues

Learn how to juggle bass, melody and harmony for solo acoustic guitar.

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.
