Fingerpicking the blues is a ton of fun!
Now, I love Chet Atkins and the boom-chick style that he played.
And this style has been carried on by players like Tommy Emmanuel and many others…
But what a lot of people don’t know about, is how the blues players played differently than this classic Chet style.
Sure, they didn’t use a flatpick and had alternating bass movements etc.
But there is much more to getting the sound.
And it’s quite different from any other style of fingerpicking.
Today I want to share with you some of these differences.
And also break down how to play like Mississippi John Hurt using my 2-step method.

Love this channel man! Playing without a pick is underated.

Thanks, Jon! I've always wanted to learn fingerstyle picking ever since seeing & hearing Chet Akins, James Taylor, & Bobby Goldsboro and the style in which they played. Always liked the Calypso style.

Thank you, Jon.

Why don't you tutors play the whole song to start with just so the students have an idea what they're aiming for.

That's the best way to guide. I tend to learn only from guys who play it first.

@@mksnz Well that some sort of answer, thanks.
