Lesson ID: A0207
In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn a 12 bar fingerstyle delta blues progression in double drop D tuning (DADGBD). This progression is best played at a slow speed and it has a really nice bluesy sound. We’ll work through the tablature two bars at a time until we cover all 12 bars. At the end, practice the 12 bar blues progression with me.
Pay close attention to my thumb that plucks the bass note line. The thumb plucks the bass note on each quarter note count and we’ll play various melody notes in between the bass line with our pointer and middle fingers. Overall, this is a great lesson for working on fingerstyle blues guitar.
The tablature download is available below the lesson video.
New lesson posted! Trying out some fingerstyle this time… let me know what y’all think.
Cool blues Devin! Thanks!
This is great, Devin! Thanks for doing blues…and fingerstyle!
Love this Devin
Thanks Devin. I had just started concentrating on some blues. this is very timely
The chickens are gonna like this one..
I have been working on this lesson. You can add extra things to it to stretch the song out and play some parts higher up the fretboard as well. Excellent song!
I would love some ideas for up the neck parts that would go with this. Do you have anything you could share?
Good times working (slowly) through this lesson. Liking the sound of double drop D tuning.
