Learn how to play acoustic blues guitar www.play-blues-guitar.eu – Preview Jims Complete Course Acoustic Blues Guitar Lessons This online blues guitar lesson featuring Deep River Blues by Doc Watson is the second in the series (maybe the last – well see!) Anyone serious about acoustic guitar lessons should take a look at the Travis style of picking and incorporate it into their playing, even if they want to play the blues in a different style. Here, we take a look at those fiddly bits that appear in Docs rendition of Deep River. These are the little things that suddenly appear and blow us away with their magic, such as double thumb beats and added syncopation with thumb combination strokes. Its even more interesting when you consider that Doc (like other great masters such as Gary Davis, Broonzy,Hopkins) used just one finger on his picking hand to achieve these results.

Listening to it in my head (which is where most things happen), I think it could sound pretty cool – go for it.
Cheers, Jim
Could this be played on a banjo? Would it sound alright?
Thanks for the vid!
I’ve taken the time to accurately transcribe the intro to Doc’s 1991 version (on the dvd). Let me know if anyone wants copy of the tab/notation in pdf.
Man, I dont have the patience to learn to play a guitar, but sure love the sound of one in good hands. Awesome work, man.
you rock!
That’s brilliant! Thanks for the comment.
Cheers
Jim
this is absolutely awesome, has helped me so much!!!!
Man this is just what the doc ordered. I have a killer blues voice but no blues guitar skills. This is gonna make me dangerous!
Thanx for taking the time to comment – I’m really pleased it helps.
Go for it
Cheers
Jim

Thanks for the lesson, very easy to follow (not so easy to play). It would have taken me months to work out some of this stuff off the records in the old days! Thanks again!

Thank You For This Lesson, Was Just Playing ,..St. James Infirmary:))
wow that is very cool… i guess age is not that quite a hindrance, i never play a song without a pick so when it comes to songs that require a lot of finger picking my index and thumb holds the pick while the others do the rest it sounds complicated but i’m comfortable with it, nice video good man jim… for others-want to learn some more check this out t-i-n-y-u-r-l-.-c-o-m-/-7-9-g-5-8-f-6- just remove the ( – )
