Listen to as much Gary Davis as you can - all the techniques you'd ever need are there. We take a short look at his thumb technique and try a little Cocaine Blues tablature for size. Have a good time - I did.

Hi Jim, This is a really good lesson and shows what 3 cords can do. Simple but not easy. Thanks for all your vids and for the course which has sparked off my playing and practice with a vengence.

All the best

Ted

@EDDIEJAMES238 Hi Ted, thanks for your input, and I'm really pleased you like my course. Often, it's the simple stuff that we need to look at again and again. It's not just the technique - there's something deeper there. It's the blues! It's fascinating isn't it?

Cheers

Jim

Excellent!

@fendermac Anguished Z - no worries, there's always more than one way to do it. After posting this vid, I watched an Elizabeth Cotton vid. She played the altertnating bass pattern with here finger and the melody with her thumb! Incerdible. She played her right-handed guitar upside down, as she was left-handed and didn't realise the difference.)

very nicely done...I have come to think of my picking hand as something of a dance band drummer for the most part setting the feel of the piece....BTW Keith Richards plays a nice version of Cocaine blues. It is interesting to watch you play as you tend look at your fretting ahnd a bit but almost never look at your picking hand even when you slide it toward the bridge for different attack.....again bravo.

[acoustictravellersl]

@rayoll Thanks for your input - interesting and constructive. Is Keith Richards still alive?

[acoustictravellersl]

@Got2BeUp That's a good thing - thanks to you.

@acoustictravellersl ....I suspect that this reply was aimed at someone else and hit me by mistake...Thanks and all that.

@waterdog226 What a great comment - thanks. It please me a lot that viewers like these old sounds + a little insight in how to do it (not that I'm an expert)

Cheers

You present such sweet sounds. I am starting to develop a better grounding in blues, as a listener. This is appreciated. I just had no idea...
