In this week's lesson, I'm excited to teach you a fingerstyle blues arrangement. We'll be using familiar 12 bar blues, played in the Key of E. I'll start things off as simply as possible — teaching you the chord shapes & progressions we'll build upon.

From there, I'll add new concepts one step at a time, allowing you to get fully up to speed at a comfortable pace. If you're able to hang until the end, we'll arrive at an alternating bass note arrangement (using Travis Picking) that's been a blast to play as I've prepared this lesson. I think you'll dig this one... let's get into it!
