Blues guitar men such as Scrapper Blackwell, Pink Anderson and Floyd Council are unknown names, unless you are a blues fan! Most people know that Pink Floyd took their group name from the latter two blues men, but very few people have heard their music.

Depending on the key used, and also the musical style, these guitar lessons are suitable for intermediate to advanced players. For example, the alternating bass patterns used in ragtime guitar are harder to learn than the monotonic bass techniques associated with the Delta.

Digging the songs and breaking down into sections. There might be a few issues with tabs shown on screen and what you're playing, but it's easy enough to follow your fingers and make the corrections by memory. Can't wait for song 2!!!

Really like the lessons, very well presented. The tabs could be easier to follow. I am writing them out again myself with rhythm notation, but that is the way I learn best.

I’ve been learning the first song, “Baby please don’t go” and I’m positive I’ll be playing acoustic blues for the rest of my life. It feels like I always should have been playing it. I’m learning immensely from Jim. I look forward to consuming the rest of the course and continue my journey into the world of finger style blues. Thank you Jim.
