Blues Guitar Lessons www.playbluesguitar.eu Free Lesson Download http Sign UpNow and get these Free Goodies: Complete Robert Johnson Lesson Download, two MP3 Albums (Acoustic Blues Travellers and Blind Blake) and a mini-course of 7 streamed videos covering basic blues picking techniques. 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 learning how to play blues guitar should take a look at the Travis style of picking and incorporate it into their playing, even 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 thumbfinger 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. I hope you enjoy it – come back again! The full range of lessons available show how to play blues guitar in various styles, such as delta blues (Robert Johnson), Texas blues (Lightnin Hopkins), Chicago swing blues (Big Bill Broonzy), ragtime blues (Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Willie Walker) , Carolina blues (Floyd Council, Pink Anderson, Scrapper Blackwell), bottleneck and open tunings.

  2. Great two lessons on the intro and end of the verse, but can you add the beginning of the verse as well??

  3. I feel a little better now, that I’ve come to grips with my station in life, knowing I suck.

    I want to buy your stuff to listen to…. I know you sell CD’s… I’ve seen it somewhere. What is that link, or can’t you post it here?? email me, otherwise. Also, do you capo up on the first fret for the voicing/key, why not just play it in E? (curious)

    Do you tour?

  4. Dude, you make me sick! I love this stuff and wish I could do it. Guess I’d better put in some shed time. You never fail to amaze me.

    Cheers… I know you sell CD’s… give us the link.
