There's nothing sweeter to the ear or more satisfying to play than fingerstyle blues guitar. Pick up that old acoustic, play a few bars of a Muddy Waters tune and watch faces light up immediately. As popular music is rooted to the blues, blues is rooted to the original fingerstyle techniques of pioneers Robert Johnson, Big Bill, Leadbelly, Lightning Hopkins, Blind Lemon and many others. Contemporaries Ry Cooder, John Hammond, Leo Kottke, Keb Mo, Eric Bibb and a truckload of others keep this art form alive and very well.
Less is more when it comes to fingerstyle blues. No brain-twisting theory to master. Just a few basic chords and open tunings to learn. And the fingerpicking techniques are a snap for any player to pick up even hard-core flatpickers. So why such a mystery for so many players? Because effective fingerstyle blues instruction is real scarce. And that was our inspiration to produce the 60-Day Fingerstyle Blues Camp 10-CD Collection... Now with 185 video lessons.
