Not much sweeter to the ear or more pleasing to play than fingerstyle
blues guitar. Pick up your box, 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
Kotke, Chet Atkins and and a truckload of others keep this rare art
form alive and very well.
Less is certainly more when it comes to fingerstyle blues. No brain-
twisting theory and techniques to master. Just a few basic chords,
couple of open tunings and a handful of simple picks to learn. So why
such a mystery for so many players? Because effective fingerstyle blues
instruction is real scarce -- our inspiration to produce the 60-Day
Fingerstyle Blues Camp 10-CD Video Course. But first we had to find the
best fingerstyle blues instruction on the planet ...
Sourcing top fingerstyle blues instruction was slam-dunk easy. Acoustic
Guitar Workshop! We've been working with them for quite a few years now
and their individual lessons are always in TrueFire's top rankings. Rick
Payne and Steve Elliot formed a magical symbiosis known the world over
as The Acoustic Guitar Workshop, a world-class acoustic guitar web site
based in England.
Rick's waters run deep -- brilliant composer/performer, world renown
master of the fingerstyle blues form, with an uncanny ability to break-
down and communicate the essential elements of the style. Steve Elliot,
founder of the Acoustic Guitar Workshop and recently hailed as
a "British Master of The Blues", is also a successful songwriter and
instructor. Together they've authored three highly praised fingerstyle
blues courses and five CDs worth of classic and original fingerstyle
blues tunes.
