Summary of This Book
Fingerpicking Blues is a collection of arrangements specially written for intermediate-level guitarists who want to play blues solo, combining accompaniment and melodic line in a single part. Each piece is designed as a complete work: the right hand builds the pulse and harmonic foundation, while the melody naturally stands out above the accompaniment. The result is typically fingerstyle, expressive, and perfectly suited for both acoustic and electric playing.
This book provides an excellent foundation for developing an authentic blues sound in fingerpicking: bass management, voice balance, articulation, and sense of groove. The repertoire focuses on iconic titles, perfect for consolidating your automatic skills and enriching your playing (turnarounds, blues phrasing, rhythmic variations), while maintaining a musical and "ready-to-play" approach.
