Skip James was an incredible blues artist with haunting vocal lines and tricky picking. One of the best ways to explore Skip's sound is by learning how to play in Crossnote Tuning (Often Open D Minor Tuning - DADFAD). In this lesson, I'll take you through an example that will help you get a feel for this tuning so you can explore the darker sounds of the blues on your guitar.

Slow things down if you're struggling with fingerstyle blues. There are so many things to learn that, let's face it, aren't all that easy. Getting your thumb under control, building independence and developing the stamina you need to fingerpick a full song aren't easy. But why make things more difficult by playing too fast? That leads to errors and can actually slow down your over all progress. So, have a look at this example and take things nice and slow at first. Then, as you build your technique, speed things up Slow down the speed up.

Yes, you should work to break out of the pentatonic boxes because that's the path to total fretboard freedom. But if you're currently stuck, make the most of it! Work to create interesting phrases that are musical and connect as you move through a blues progression. That will build your confidence on the fretboard and give you some skills to lean on once you do finally make it to other positions.

In the popular BGI lesson, Tuesday Blues 331, we covered a Slow Delta Blues number that has helped many players start their acoustic blues journey. A great next step is to collect a few turnarounds that you can drop into the final two bars of the arrangement. In this lesson, I'll share three to get you going plus I'll share several tips and tricks to help you come up with your own variations. Start with the "Slow and Easy Delta Blues" but supercharge these by dropping them into other arrangements too!

I've had many guitars come and go and the thing that usually sends most of them away? They just aren't comfortable to play. Until recently, I shopped with other things in mind and completely ignored how the guitar felt across my lap and how it felt to fingerpick. When I finally thought about comfort, I found my perfect match. This video digs into one of the biggest things to consider if you're in the market for a new guitar. Hope it helps!

With certain styles of acoustic blues (Ragtime, Piedmont, etc) there's alot going on. You'll play chords, melody and the bass line all at the same time. The cool thing is, often you can play really cool parts without having to leave familiar chord shapes that you (probably) already know. In this lesson, I'll share an example in the Piedmont / Etta Baker style that will help you bring together the elements of good fingerpicking without having to fly around the fretboard.

Go beyond the beginner stage with your slide guitar playing by learning a few cool chords. Then, attach minor pentatonic shapes to these chord voicings. Play these shapes through the changes and you won't sound boring.

Rhythm is at the very foundation of everything that we do on the guitar. Yet, most players spend very little time developing the basic skills that will make everything groove. In this lesson, I'll share a few tips to help you develop your internal clock as we groove to a Delta style acoustic blues example.

Open G, or Open G Spanish as we learn in the video, is used in songs like Rollin' and Tumblin and Can't Be Satisfied. Interested in the gritty sound of Open D - also called Vestapol tuning - watch the video to learn how to get in tune, then check out songs like You Gotta Move by Mississippi Fred McDowell.

Is there any difference between resonator strings and regular acoustic strings? In this video, we talk about a silly mistake I made when buying strings for my Gretsch Honey Dipper and what to look for when you buy your strings. Along the way, I test out D'Addario EJ17's, Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze's, GHS Americana's and John Pearse 790NR's. Give each a listen and let me know in the comments which ones you like best! Or...does it even make a difference?

Use the slide to do what it does best, slide up and down the strings.
This simple thought helped me get moving instead of staying locked into one spot.
