COUNTRY BLUES FINGERSTYLE GUITAR
Have you ever seen a solo guitarist/singer/songwritter in a show playing the guitar with fingers and you have wondered how can he get this complete sound out of only a single guitar? Or maybe an old blues artist and you are fascinated with his unorthodox and raw guitar playing? If this makes you wonder how it’s done and you want to get yourself into the world of learning how to play these sounds on your guitar then you will need to get yourself into the world of fingerstyle guitar.
We will first examine the fundamentals of the fingerstyle guitar. You will learn all that you need to know and what to practise in order to get in a good shape and feel confident of applying this in your playing. Then will go deeply in the main theme of the course which is the Country/Blues fingerstyle. There we will get more specific and you will learn how to play various blues styles derived from different Southern state regions. You will furthermore learn how to use different techniques on your fingerstyle and how to get the nice sound out of your blues. Being aware and confident of playing and improving your technique on these styles can establish you not only as a good country/blues guitarist but it will improve your skills as a good all around guitar player too.
