So you want to play the blues? Well, veteran guitarist, instructor and Homespun Tapes founder Happy Traum offers the very best way for you to get started!
This basic course in fingerstyle blues guitar breaks it all down into easily digested topics for novice players. You'll start by learning the basic blues forms and getting them securely under your belt. Then, Happy provides a number of "easy steps" that will build up your guitar technique, increase your understanding of the style, and help you develop the ability to start playing great blues songs.

Some of these steps include learning basic blues chords, syncopated strumming patterns, 12-bar and 8-bar blues progressions, bass runs, and more than a dozen variations for the all-important blues turnarounds, intros and endings. As you work your way through this lesson, Happy imparts numerous tips, suggestions and invaluable information about music theory and musicianship that will affect all of your guitar work.

As you conquer each of these basic steps, your playing will get stronger and more confident, and you'll be well on your way to becoming an accomplished blues guitarist.


DVD Two: "Essentials of Fingerstyle Blues" - Includes music and tab in original case. Mint condition. 90 minutes

From the Homespun website and back of the DVD case:

Now that you've completed DVD 1 and have made it past the basics, it's time to tackle the next level – traditional blues fingerpicking.
The key to all country blues playing, and the heart of this style, is in your ability to play a rhythmic bass pulse with your thumb while your fingers pick out syncopated notes on the high strings. Happy Traum's "easy steps" learning concept divides this all-important style into modules that you can digest one element at a time. Through the use of carefully thought-out exercises, he methodically takes this style apart so that any aspiring player can pick it up.

You'll learn how to "break up the chords" (the way Happy learned personally from Brownie McGhee), as well as the funky "Lightnin' Hopkins lick," shuffle and boogie-woogie bass lines, blues scales, playing solos up the neck, variations on blues chord progressions and arrangements of Rock Me Baby, Baby Please Don't Go, Trouble In Mind and other blues classics.

This is an almost foolproof method for building solid guitar technique while learning to play licks, accompaniments, songs and solos in the blues style.

Price is $40.00 for the two DVD's, music and tab in separate cases. Includes USPS Priority Shipping to a USA address. I will be glad to ship international but additional shipping charges will be necessary.
