Awsome teacher, I wish I had taken lessons from you 40 years ago.

[@Ensorcle]

The finger independence needed to do this is no joke. I'm going to be practicing this all weekend.

[@willgrover5270]

What seems so simple is in actuality very difficult to master (for me at least). I expect I'll be spending a bunch of time on those first 10 seconds!

[@kbhousen]

Another great lesson and a good example of the kind of material presented in the FingerStyle Five. It's a great way to learn finger style blues.

[@scottkidwell3601]

Thank you, David 🙏🏻 Great lesson, and I'm glad it's a long weekend... plenty to work on. Be good to you

[@joeldcanfield_spinhead]

absolutely love the concept of modular licks like this.

[@user-no1cares]

Thanks David. Excellent lesson.

The 2nd fret of the 3rd string and the 2nd fret of the 4th string How does the middle finger of the left hand do it?　I can't figure it out from the video. Please tell me!

[@MikeSmith-ul2yc]

I'm the same. I just keep my finger on the 3rd string and nudge it on to the 4th to dampen it. It doesn't sound clearly but gives a beat which works

[@SillyMoustache]

Yeah David, we love your playing and advice, but we need to know about that beautiful 00!!

[@Romamb]

Think you've summed it up. Not much more to say. Just listen!

[@FretboardConfidential]

That's a relatively new (to me) Santa Cruz OO-18

[@MikeSmith-ul2yc]

Two days from never Travis picked in C to being able to do the first 2 bars. All falls apart when I slide up to the flat. My thumb doesn't work!!!!

[@Michael_Malice_Music]

New Guitar ??? 😱

[@del518]

It’s the new‘ish’ shiny Santa Cruz (Mr DH describes it at the end of in FOI-Vol5-Blues Development if you want to learn more about it, Jan). My bet is that the Martin was still tuned in open D when he shot today’s video ;-)

[@wheninroamful]

@@del518 what is "FOI-Vol5-Blues Development"? I thought it was a Martin here. Possibly a 00-28VS with custom headstock?

[@mdyerlrb]

@@wheninroamful FOI stands for Fundamentals Of Improvisation. It's part of David's Fingerstyle Five membership which I highly recommend.
