Six Steps to Playing Finger Style Blues in E: 5 of 6 : Putting It All Together

[@ronnielewallen2529]

Best teacher I’ve experienced. Thanks David.

[@ronbenenati2987]

best beginner finger style series I've found

[@pennyandclauderossman5455]

This is really helpful. First time I've felt like this level of playing is attainable for me. Extremely well laid out for my learning style. Thanks Claude R

I have all of David's great TrueFire courses........and for the longest time I thought nothing could rival his fantastic studies of electric blues/jazz/rock/even Latino upbeat studies but now with equal time acoustic studies.....I'm not too certain. His "New School Fingerstyle" course is a must have.......and all these reviews definitely help me tackle this course jam-packed with great acoustic blues and other style acoustic arrangements but......David has to be the most generous man in the guitar teaching world because he puts all these great courses out on KZbin ....for free!! There's definitely something to be said about picking up a nice acoustic six string and playing inventive and ever evolving acoustic blues and David consistently shows us all with inquisitive minds......the key!!

Thanks for the plug, Jim :-)

David, I'm loving this series and I'm using it as background practice to my FS5 membership which is fantastic

[@ianirishcampbell1934]

Enjoying every bit all the way from the land down under. Ditto to Jim C's comments!

[@robgray9620]

Have to agree to all comments fantastic video

[@jjudd88]

Really enjoyed this series of lessons David. Thanks a bunch. You are my favorite instructor. I think I have every course you've published on Truefire. Great!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Thanks so much, John!

[@erniewilkes3945]

Great series,thanks.

[@jimwillride]

This is terrific teaching and in a way that opens up possibilities like a map showing the territories. Fantastic! I'm really excited to spend more time with all pieces and then putting them together on my own. Thank you. My only suggestion is: you maybe don't have to teach the chords/picking in video 5 since you have already taught them in the preceding videos. I'd love to just hear you putting things together in vid 5.

Lovin it David..Thanks so much.

David: Just wanted to tell you how much I've enjoyed this series of vids--as well as your "Playing through the changes" series. This has been a great review of of the material you covered more in-depth in last year's class, and more than once I was scrambling back to my notes and such in order to drill down deeper into into a lick or move or concept. One question: Have you ever considered giving a type of "beyond the blues" course, where you'd, say, present something like a blues approach as a bridge for starting to play jazz? I'd love to see, for example, how you'd approach playing over--and comping through--something like rhythm changes. Thanks, and keep up the great work!

[@FretboardConfidential]

Hey Scott - nice to see you here and glad to know the past material is holding up :-). I haven't thought about going beyond applying jazz approaches to the blues changes but I'll keep that in mind!

[@phoenixcooney3162]

+1. I'd also like to see a jazz course like this.

[@FretboardConfidential]

folks, we may have a groundwell on our hands! I'll definitely keep that idea on the front burner.

[@jtinaz5119]

David, great series. Which year and model Martin are you playing? Looks like an 000-28 but can't tell for sure.

[@daviddrake8019]

Is this part of a larger course on fingerstyle you are going to offer? Thanks.

[@FretboardConfidential]

We'll see! I've done a longer online course in the past and will probably do so again at some point when I have time to revise and update the material.

[@daviddrake8019]

Fretboard Confidential with David Hamburger Thanks. I'd be interested in the course. Are any of the TrueFire courses you've done a comprehensive course of what you teach (fingerstyle blues)? Specific ones you'd recommend?

[@FretboardConfidential]

I missed this reply earlier! Fingerstyle Blues Factory is probably the most comprehensive course of mine on this kind of thing, with Fingerstyle Blues Essentials a good followup.

[@daviddrake8019]

Fretboard Confidential with David Hamburger Thanky you. I have all access pass so I can use them.
