This was my first real fingerstyle song I tried and it sounded terrible at first, felt like I wasn't getting it. After a couple of weeks practice I got it sounding pretty decent. So don't give up! very fun song to play
ALRIGHT!! I always want to encourage everyone to play and learn new styles or songs. It always works better if you've got a goal for yourself: *record a clip of you playing this blues and post it on Instagram mentioning me @pauldavidsguitar!* Good luck (Sound great on an electric too!) Use the hashtags #pauldavids and #fingerstyleblues
Paul Davids Will you still like it if I post it after three weeks? Although I love fingerstyle blues, it will take me some time to master, as I have always played with a pick before.
Thanks for that lesson...It was a hard long time exercise for me...but I did not give up..and now; my fingers move automatically and I can play it!!! I am so exited having mastered that piece...Over a week, 2 hours a day...and now I still cant believe I'm able to do it...Great stuff thanks (the little shake on the b string within)😉 Greetings from🇨🇭
Me neither I didn’t know, and it’s really helpful. And quite funny too when you watch the beginning of the video and Paul speaks, sounds like he had a couple bottle of bourbon before recording !
The first half I can play now; when my fingers are doing all by themselves! I use it for exercise! Cuz all fingers are involved and I can play slower or faster...thank You 4 this awesome piece...and especially 4 the tabs....great job!😍
If anyone is new here, you definitely should check out his new guitar course. I've already gained so much knowledge in just a week of watching the videos and practicing. 100% worth the money.
I´m watching the full Bond Saga from the beginning . I started this amazing lesson with "Dr No"...I´m now with "Diamonds are Forever"...and the whole 12 bars are barely starting to sound like a blues mess. Two films a week...The whole movie with the guitar in my hands repeating 4 bars at a time...fighting against my neurons all the time...slowly...quiet...my wife enduring the Bond Saga and my dreadful plucking all the time...she really loves me!!!... Next weekend we´ll be entering the Roger Moore ERA....That´s my mission...When I get to Daniel Craig´s "No Time to Die"...I have to master this blues!!!
This is a beautiful composed piece of music. I’m going to learn how to play it. I’m gonna play it on a fender Newporter. I love your channel. You’re a excellent teacher you know the guitar very well. I’ve been playing for 51 years. You know it better than I do, but I never went to college. I took lessons for five years off of soul surfer Johnny fortune. He was my guitar mentor. He taught me a lot of chords and taught me basic finger style guitar. I took it the rest of the way, love your style❤️❤️😄👍🎸🎼🎵🎶🎸
One of the best 12 bar blues I’ve ever heard yet. I’m a finger style guitarist and I love the way. This is put together great composing. You’re a great guitar player Paul Dave love it. Thanks for the video. Have a great day. I am a finger style guitarist I will for sure learn This one😄👍🎸🎼🎵🎶❤️😄
wow, iv e done it. iv e found my favourite guitar song to play. not too difficult. not too hard. fun to play. awesome sound. and just great in general. thanks for the tutorial!
I'll never understand how anyone can look at the top sheet of those tabs and know how to play. I've never been able to read music. It's amazing people can take one look at that and instantly know not only what it sounds like but how to play it in real time.
very nice 'easy' to learn piece. Thank's for the tabs, that helps a lot. And nice to do is to do the fingerpincking used in E chord in the fifth position, using the A chord :) I like it playing it a little slower.
Thank you so much! I have been fingerpicking for a while but no variation in my left hand. I have been trying to find videos on how to do it but this is the first I have found! (Hope this makes sense)
Brilliant the way you show this step by tiny step so I can repeat and get this I to my muscle memory. I've hunted and hunted for a tutorial like this. Thankyou
Thanks from Spain Paul. I´m making my way up this amazing piece of fingerpicking. And you, the teacher is the most powerful reason for me to feel that I´m able to learn this thing. It´s taking lots of time and brain work but it´s starting to sound o´k. I´m just with the first four bars, trying to get that thumb mechanics. It´s the key, I know...
@Paul Davids I've been playing guitar for a year and a half and I don't know what to practice. I've just been learning a bunch of songs, but I want to start learning how to build my rhythm and start getting into theory. Where should I start, and what are some things I should have mastered before I continue learning and improving on my guitar.
Paul can you give more lessons on blues for both acoustic and electric?? And specially with some SRV,BB KING,Albert King Licks or styles and JOHN Mayer too. it would be much appreciated if you do.
Ugh, I'm a bit late. Any suggestion for the strings used here please? I'm playing on bronze D'Addario size 0.11 and on the fourth note the G string just doesn't vibrate for long/loud enough to pull that, unless I play the whole part very softly : (
I guess that Paul is too busy to answer personal questions, but I welcome any advice from seasoned fingerpickers out there...Is it convenient to work on several pieces at the same time or it´ll be more productive in the long run to stick to one piece till it´s almost completely under your fingers and then start a new one?
Hi i've been struggling alot with the first 4 bars (and the next 8 !!) , Its the timing / rhythm i think. Any tips ? Would using a metronome help me to slow it down or is there another technique ?
Probably too late, but in case it might help, try a finger picking song with the same pattern repeated for every chord. Just practice until it becomes instinct, and count, whole numbers are thumb, halves are fingers. Eventually it gets easier I promise. Landslides by Fleetwood Mac is a good start (most of the song is the same, chorus is tricky!). Once you’ve got that muscle memory of alternating digits, try songs like this with variations in the pattern
Fantastic lesson. I just got my alternating thumb down pretty good and I feel like I can own any fingerstyle thing but this was a nice challenge. Difficult but not too bad and I feel like I learned. Great lesson. Thanks. Just what I was looking for.
TablEdit and TEFview gives you this "Tablanote OPTION" for a NewGuitarVision . For your Blues;. we play E2 (midle) later G becomes G#1 with E2 together ; Very fast you know all your notes on the neck of the guitar Friendly from Paris
I'm just about starting to get the hang of alternating thumb fingerpicking and started to learn kottke's last steam train and then I hear the first two bars xD
This is a great guitar lesson and well explained. I like that palm muting was discussed. ONE thing that bothers me about most fingerpicking guitar lessons is that right hand fingering is ignored. Even putting P-i-m-a notation above the notes would be a help. There are many schools of thought about right hand fingering for blues and ragtime fingerpicking and it really makes a difference in mastering the technique. I was watching the video to see if you use your middle or ring finger for the high E string.
Paul, you should do a tutorial of Johnny Bucklands riffs on something just like this (Tokyo Remix) he does a really cool riff during some of the verses only in the remix
0:43 - bars 1-4
4:33 - bars 5-8
7:17 - bars 9-12
10:12 - whole tune
This was my first real fingerstyle song I tried and it sounded terrible at first, felt like I wasn't getting it. After a couple of weeks practice I got it sounding pretty decent. So don't give up! very fun song to play
that sounds good that it was terrible at first😂🤣

Paul Davids Paul I found that guy
I am an old man and know nothing of this "instagram" of which you speak :-(
Can I tape it onto a C60 and send it you?
+Payed shill Yes, my pigeon-post box is always open. Make sure to rewind the tape first though.
Paul Davids Will you still like it if I post it after three weeks? Although I love fingerstyle blues, it will take me some time to master, as I have always played with a pick before.
You should have a specific hashtag (#) so we can all search up and view everyone's posts. Could use #PaulDavids #FingerstyleBlues

Greetings from🇨🇭
I've been playing guitar for 27 years but never in this style.. im an hour into practicing and this is kicking my ass! lekker!
Skop my gat ook, slowly but surely I am getting there ☺️
Bless youtube for giving you the option to slow the video down
Thanks Robbie. I did not know you could do that until you mentioned it.
Me neither I didn’t know, and it’s really helpful. And quite funny too when you watch the beginning of the video and Paul speaks, sounds like he had a couple bottle of bourbon before recording !
@Kyle Bates you know you can download the video and then play with the laptop with VLC media player any time you want..
I watching this video 3 years after (2021) and I am laughing so loud alone with this comment . The best thing is that I loved the idea
The first half I can play now; when my fingers are doing all by themselves! I use it for exercise! Cuz all fingers are involved and I can play slower or faster...thank You 4 this awesome piece...and especially 4 the tabs....great job!😍
Anyone who hits the dislike button on any of Paul's Videos should be removed from the Gene Pool!

This is thoroughly kicking my ass. I can't wait to be able to play this without hesitation
Great blues lesson. Enjoy your teaching style. You're a fantastic guitarist. I've been playing for 30 years and still can't play.
Love this! Never thought I could do it, but I did! Thanks a million
wow, iv e done it. iv e found my favourite guitar song to play. not too difficult. not too hard. fun to play. awesome sound. and just great in general.
thanks for the tutorial!
Great tutorial style, almost story telling. I love this finger style too Thank you 🙏
The intro here is very similar to Leo Kottke's "The last steam engine train". Super fun song. love your videos, keep up the good work!
The song was originally by his mentor, John Fahey :) Leo Kottke just played it really fast.
ha, didn't know that :) thanks!
So much fun. Thank you. I'm gonna work at this, it's a long way from what I normally play.
Paul you are best guitar youtuber , you explain really great and it is easy to understand , plus tabs it is great
P.S Hello from Azerbaijan, Baku ❤
thank you Paul. I played guitar for 6 years this is the first time I try to play blues and its really easy to learn and sounds really awesome.
I'll never understand how anyone can look at the top sheet of those tabs and know how to play. I've never been able to read music. It's amazing people can take one look at that and instantly know not only what it sounds like but how to play it in real time.
Thanks Paul! You should teach more about the Blues' rhythm
A real nice Lesson, made me understand THE essens of timing and beat. 🥀
very nice 'easy' to learn piece. Thank's for the tabs, that helps a lot. And nice to do is to do the fingerpincking used in E chord in the fifth position, using the A chord :) I like it playing it a little slower.

the 25 pop songs through history was a really good video man. could you make more of those (fingerstyle songs)?
have learned half in 10 minutes. thank you Paul!
@Paul Davids I've been playing guitar for a year and a half and I don't know what to practice. I've just been learning a bunch of songs, but I want to start learning how to build my rhythm and start getting into theory.

Thank you very much for this great lesson, it's just what I was looking for, just beginning my discovery journey into blues...
Excellent video. Great lesson! Thank-you Thank-you Thank-you. Very nice Collings OM by the way
You are a very good teacher. Not to mention a great guitar player!
Paul, can you teach us the Autumn Leaves arrangement that you are seen playing in some of your videos. Thanks!!
Paul can you give more lessons on blues for both acoustic and electric?? And specially with some SRV,BB KING,Albert King Licks or styles and JOHN Mayer too. it would be much appreciated if you do.
Never clicked faster on a vid. Fuck yea Paul, keep up with the good stuff
i would love a finger style course!
Great lesson, thanks Paul a very cool blues
this ten minute video has probably been played over and over a billion timess
Could you post a video on how you setup your push for looping?
Thank you Paul, you are the absolute best guitar teacher ever in the world! It would be so great if you could teach us Deep river blues !
4:22 "it's very nice to give the D a little shake" yeah sir i got your point :D
Great lesson btw !
Thank you so much for this tutorial. Your Awesome to take the time to teach this. God Bless from the U.S.
This is really fun to play, great little song!
Excellent as always!
very good guitar lesson. thanks for that. See you soon
Guys what scale is this? It doesnt seem to be like the natural blues scale because it has more notes, right? Or am i just being stupid?
Ugh, I'm a bit late. Any suggestion for the strings used here please? I'm playing on bronze D'Addario size 0.11 and on the fourth note the G string just doesn't vibrate for long/loud enough to pull that, unless I play the whole part very softly : (
Tanks alot for teaching us the true art of guitar!
I guess that Paul is too busy to answer personal questions, but I welcome any advice from seasoned fingerpickers out there...Is it convenient to work on several pieces at the same time or it´ll be more productive in the long run to stick to one piece till it´s almost completely under your fingers and then start a new one?
Practice many songs it's ok and way more fun that way
A great sounding collings... thanks for this blues
Exllent lesson. To the point and well explained. Thank you! 👍🏻👍🏻
lov thoses blues, great job!
You certainly have moved me forward. I've almost got it!!
Thanks Paul. Been looking for this
Love your playing and vids sir
It's very good. Thank You.
Thank you so much ❤
Hi i've been struggling alot with the first 4 bars (and the next 8 !!) , Its the timing / rhythm i think. Any tips ? Would using a metronome help me to slow it down or is there another technique ?

clear lesson. excellent!!!!!
Nice ! Love It ! More blues pls :) EDIT: I will be able to play this (in maybe 20 years)
Can you do something on shuffle rhythm if you haven't already? Great lesson BTW
TablEdit and TEFview gives you this "Tablanote OPTION" for a NewGuitarVision . For your Blues;. we play E2 (midle) later G becomes G#1 with E2 together ; Very fast you know all your notes on the neck of the guitar Friendly from Paris
I'm just about starting to get the hang of alternating thumb fingerpicking and started to learn kottke's last steam train and then I hear the first two bars xD
could you do a tutorial of your blackbird fingerstyle version?
Wellp took me nearly two full hours to learn this but I finally got it! Thank you sir Paul! Keep this style coming
How long have you been playing the guitar?
This is a great guitar lesson and well explained. I like that palm muting was discussed. ONE thing that bothers me about most fingerpicking guitar lessons is that right hand fingering is ignored.

I was watching the video to see if you use your middle or ring finger for the high E string.
Is that you, Bob Ross? xD Your voice is amazing I almost forgot I was learning the guitar, you could be narrator for a Tv show lul
A video on right hand economy would be super useful if you're up to it!
10:11 to repeat my practice
Super cool, thanks Paul! :)
Great job Paul.
Hey Paul! can you please do a tutorial on sick in the head by the lumineers?
Got depressed tryna learning this. I thought it would be fun(
What a fun tune, thanks for this
Bem legal sua aula parabéns. Lindo violão.
