Hello My Name is Les I live in England and I am pretty old BUT I want to learn the Piedmont style blues I just got lucky to find your site and have you in the You Tube subscribe list You mention clicking for the TAB? BUT I am unable to understand where it is I must click Can you help here please
excellent lesson, thank you so much, im falling in love with my guitar all over again, playing the inside-out pattern sounds really good with a whole lot of other different chords/songs too, you really are helping me with thumb independence with the alternating base line here. the metronome was tricky at first but im kinda getting the hang of it. im finding it hard to do triplets without my thumb wanting to hit the base on every tri-pl-et, your previous video on thumb independence showed me what to do though so just gotta keep at it, thanks again
This was more about the patterns. You're right, to sound Piedmont it's missing the shuffle feel and other techniques to create that Piedmont bounce. I should have said that in the video and then applied the techniques to the pattern to show the style in action. ✌️
@@BluesGuitarInstitute I'm glad to see you took my comment in a good way, that's rare these days, you have my respect. Now may I offer a suggestion here, maybe take a riff from someone like Pink Anderson or maybe Elizabeth cotton, two fine examples of the piedmont style. That, to me would be more interesting and useful.
It is a good lesson on the important topic of Piedmont blues fingerpicking style. The lesson will be more useful if you talk less and show and explain the strings that you are picking step by step. Also, it would be helpful if you pick a song from this genre of music like song played by Etta Baker called Carolina Breakdown and show how the strings are picked for that song. You may also want to provide a TAB for the fingerpicking of the song. If you have done this already in another video, please provide the URL for that video.
Nah, bruh. This dude want you to jump through hoops and give money to get tabs. He a good teacher though but is good about just giving you the hooks to be a paid up member. Fair dues though. Man gotta eat
Edward Phillips is really good too! Just sayin’. 😊 (Crow Jane) Wish I could “get there”.

The description
thanks John. great lessons on piedmont , my favourite bluez style too.
That's cool, it's such a fun style of blues. Nice to meet a fellow piedmont fan!
I hear that Blind Boy Fuller refused to practise without a digital metronome ...

Nice
Good video well presented love it.
No offense but that is really a bad example of piedmont style playing.

Mute the thumb it sounds like a folky white guy playing celtic stuff lol
Agreed. This was one step in a series of videos and this one was just focused on the pattern. We punch it up in a subsequent video.
Piedmont ( piemount spelling ) is northwest of Italy 😊.
espectacular¡¡¡
Again, thank you
So far, three videos, 24 minutes, with no TAB, no explanation of the strings you are playing.........sort of sucks
Oh, Jeez...
2 years later and this is still a stupid sounding comment. He explains every one of the FOUR notes he plays. How lazy are you, Idiopidity
?
