PLEASE CLICK GRID VIEW AND THEN ON "PLAYLISTS". The videos are organized into groups to make your visit easier and more enjoyable.
I started playing fingerstyle music when I was 16 years old in 1971. I had discovered acoustic blues two years before that when I heard Big Bill Broonzy play St Louis Blues on the radio.
I'm completely selftaught apart from a friend showing me a few chords and how to tune a guitar. I learned mainly by listening to recordings and with the help of tabbooks (Stefan Grossman etc).
I mostly play country blues from "the 78rpm" era but I also like contemporary artists like John James or Leo Kottke.
Sometimes, when I get bored playing the guitar, I like to dabble with Native American or Indian flutes, a mandolin, a ukulele or a Chinese guqin.
I may not be able to reply to every comment but I do read them all and appreciate them.
I always try to answer every question about the music, guitars, technique etc. but pleeeeeeze, read "about this video" first; there's much info there that will answer many questions
And finally, thanks to all you amazing commenters, raters, subscribers, and silent viewers... support from strangers is really a phenomenal thing.

TABLATURE !!!!!
Many people ask me for tab so I marked the video's for which I can provide tab at a reasonable cost (a fee tends to weed out the not-so-serious players and saves me a lot of time)
Check out the playlist "TABLATURE"
For the moment I have two cd's available.
'Blues from the 78rpm Era'
14 songs, 50 minutes of pure country blues and gospel - one man, one voice, one guitar. Lotsa new songs not available on my Youtube channel. Lotsa info on the vintage and new guitars used and the key positions.
Easy payment through Paypal - cd or download.
'Get it while it's hot'
On this cd Jim Bruce and I play each 6 songs by blues greats Blind Blake and Blind Boy Fuller.

Aangezien jij in Antwerpen woont en ik in Gent, kan dit gewoon in 't Vlaams. Ik ben al lang een vaste klant op jouw site en heb er al menig uurtje plezier aan beleefd. Man, jij hebt muziek in je. Plezant om te zien dat er in ons landje nog mensen zijn die van deze muziek houden. Ik ben net als jij begonnen met Stefan Grossman, maar ik ben een beetje jonger en bij mij was het al een video :-) Prachtig werk dat die man gedaan heeft voor de country blues. Ik heb nu ook enkele filmpjes op the tube gezet, ge moet maar ne keer kijken als ge goesting hebt.
Gr, Mike
