Hello friends,
welcome back to Swiftlessons for a special delta blues guitar tutorial. One of the signature elements of this iconic American style is the combined force of rhythm and lead guitar. All time greats like Lightning Hopkins, Robert Johnson, and Big Bill Broonzy had a magic ability to move seamlessly between lead and rhythm elements, often performing each simultaneously using fingerstyle techniques. In todays session I’ll be breaking down three classic licks that maintain a steady and driving bass note around an open E7 chord shape. Together we’ll expand your rhythm and lead vocabulary as we discuss the secret to mastering complex fingerstyle arrangements. Let’s get started!
