Thanks Stuart. That’s right. I used the palm of my right hand for this one when needed. Not much. Its the way I wanted it to sound for this tune.

great playing, you have inspired me in your other videos, am i right in thinking you are not damping the strings with your non slide fingers?

Hi matigora. The song is in the key of G major. 12 bar blues. If you are looking for any rules in the delta blues you will not find them. This is an example of that. I play in both the major and minor scales on this. Play the video a few times and you will see what I mean. The blue notes of the minor pentatonic are as well as the major scale notes. Its a developed "feel" for the style. Remember don’t constrict your self with the rules. Go outside the box. This fosters creativity.
