Mr Mosey...it's been 8 years since i saw this exact video, where you inspired me to learn how to play piedmont blues, the first time i heard about sll those "dead blind guys"...thank you vety much sir
This is the single best video I have ever seen for the Piedmont style. Awesome.
For the first time! Once I started pinching the melody with the base, I got my right thumb to move back and forth properly. Long journey begins with a single step! Thank you.
Very nice lesson Mr. Mosey. Appreciate the generosity.
Thanx a million times John: very clear, concise teaching!
Yeah...great lesson. Do you plan on doing any more Jon? I liked how you showed that really basic fingerwork can make complex sounds if played fast and smooth. I think thats really helpful to a beginner.
Thanks Jon

Did you ever think that when you posted this allll those years ago that people in 2020 during a pandemic would be inspired by it to further their guitar education. :) I've been a "beginner" for 25 years playing songs with basic open chords and I've decided to actually LEARN guitar and some more advanced playing.

Thanks, glad this helps.The most basic thing you can do over the alternating bass is a pinch: you play a bass note and a note on one of the higher strings at the same time. You can also play notes between the bass notes too (syncopations). Usually you're doing a combination of both. Check out "Before My Money Goes Away" from the Back Room Concert clip. That's a good example of a steady bass line with pinches and syncopations over it.
Thanks for sharing your expertise Jon. Your a fine teacher and a great player.
amazing. you make it look so easy! I admire your talent!!
Laurie (dr.f's office)
Never heard it explained so well. Nice work and thanks.
Love your music Jon. Areas finest
Great playing, and teaching.
Thank you for all the NOISE you make. And a tip of the hat to Chris who posted your video to FB and I saw it today. Keep Walking. Further I learned something today. Video removing the mystery of what I think of as your NOISE.
love the inlay work Jon!! Never really noticed it before, I was yo into trying to figure out what the heck you are doing!
God bless you, gonna try that now
Thank you! Well done! You've been a BIG help!
You have made seem possible,thank you for a great lesson
Awesome lesson. I really like the inlays on your Martin too.
Thank you very much for breaking down this complex picking pattern. :-)

Leo
Thanks for the foundation !

you sir have mad guitar skills!
great tone!
Thanks Leo. Keep checking, we're going to do more lessons soon.

Sweet guitar!
@rpby82 It depends who you ask. Piedmont is a distinctive style of blues that emerged in the Piedmont region (roughly Va. to Fla.) in the 20's-30's. Some of the classic players are Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Blake, Rev. Gary Davis.
I agree, Jon is really dedicated.
Thanks, that will get me started. Great sound!
Hello Ian
right on!
may i say you have a very nice fretboard and instrument
I'm going to learn this if it kills me,,,Before My Money Goes Away.....,thanks for the lesson !!
@MrGentleone444 Thanks Gent,. I'm glad you enjoy the music. Hope you get something useful from the lesson.
Hey Gent, Yeah, Henry and I have been talking about doing a series of lessons. I'll let you know when we get things together. You can also check the Random Acts Of Music site for updates.
@rpby82 'Ragtime blues' seems to cover more ground. It usually includes tunes from the jug bands, medicine show entertainers, vaudeville songs - lots of styles. Ragtime guitar is arranging and playing classic and folk piano Rags on guitar.
Thanks Laurie, It's just lots of work. See you in a few months
Thank you. Hope it helps out some.
@rpby82 The biggest difference I see is that in piedmont blues and in folk rags, there is some improvisation. In Classic ragtime, there isn't. A lot of people throw it all together and call it ragtime blues. A lot of the techniques are the same (alternating bass, for one). Doesn't really matter what you call it, it's great music.
Is it possible for you to post a guitar tab of what your playing?
hmm anyone know if it matters if I use my index finger on my right picking hand instead of my middle finger? I'm having enough trouble getting my thumb to do what I want in time with the picking rhythm while moving my pinky around. LOL
well done. well explained, i guess the whole independent thumb is just easier said then done. basically yer pinching every time you hit a bass note you are also hitting a note on the upper strings too? correct me if im wrong. thanks.
I would think those metal fingerpicks would chew up those metal strings right quick. But I may be wrong.
Nah.... I use them all the time
@tripleleo Thanks.
"...all those blind, dead guys." So---zombie guitar players??? zombie blues GOOD!!!
Jon is a hoot.
Excellent been wanting to understand the early blues pickers patterns thanks if your ever in the Motor city look me up im a shuffle swing drummer and washboardist as well thanks . Great job
