In Fingerstyle Blues
Handbook 1, David Hamburger introduced you to the world of solo
instrumental blues guitar with twenty progressive lessons in the
essential steady-bass style. Now, with Fingerstyle Handbook 2, Hamburger provides a step-by-step method for
playing solo fingerstyle blues guitar in the equally important alternating thumb or “Travis Picking”
style used by countless contemporary and classic blues guitarists.
Fingerstyle Blues Handbook 2 shows you how to achieve the finger and
thumb independence to go far beyond basic “pattern picking” so that you can
set up a groove and play
melodies, blues licks and chord fills over an alternating thumb bass. You’ll
learn how to keep your thumb going like clockwork while incorporating
hammer-ons and pull-offs, ragtime-style syncopations and chord rolls into a
variety of eight, twelve and sixteen bar blues in the keys of E, A, D, C, A
minor and E minor. Each of the twenty lessons features a new fingerstyle
blues tune that you learn and add to your repertoire.
Ideal for lifelong flatpickers, and the perfect companion course for David's
Handbook 1, Fingerstyle Blues Handbook 2 provides a solid foundation
and repertoire for playing solo fingerstyle blues
guitar. Graduates of both 1 and 2 will be well prepared to take on
Hamburger's more advanced
