I HIGHLY recommend David's Fingerstyle Five membership. Not only is he a world-class guitarist, he is a world-class teacher. He's helped me and others tremendously.
That is very much the case.
Thanks, I've been wondering about that, I'm going in
Finger style Five membership is the best bargain on line for learning blues guitar, hands down. It’s so systematic and approachable that there is plenty of value for any level of guitarist. I've been a member for 1 1/2 years and never regretted it.
All of your lessons are great, David, but today’s is amazing 👏🤙😍. Thank you!
Thank you Sid!
You really break it down eloquently!!! Thank you.
I just hit the DoubleNickel listening and learning from this lesson!!! Thank You So Much, D. ! 1967 ....
Finally! At the age of 67 I now have an understanding of what ragtime was all about. Thank you so much David, yet again! This has opened my eyes to a whole new area of playing. I now feel I can confidently change a chord progression into a ragtime tune. Now, if I can just get my head round that syncopation...
Take it slow and a bar at a time and your fingers will eventually behave. David's Fingerstyle Five has all sorts of tips to assist you......and me. I'm 71.
Ditto at 68
And even at 72! 😉
Oh! The clarity! What an incredible teacher.
Exceptional playing and instruction. The way you break it down is genius. Thank you so much!
Awesome lesson, very well explained and demonstrated
Very cool ! Love ragtime style on guitar. Thanks for sharing!
Really loved this one, David. Always great lessons, but this one has me smiling and so excited to try it. Thank you.
sorry . this guy is like a surgeon with a delicate scalpel. that is quite a talent to do what he just did. bravo
I had a 00-16 that I made the mistake of selling in '66. It was my grandmother's but was in pristine shape. The guitar you're playing here reminds me of it. Someone hopefully is playing that old treasure, hopefully well. It could be Bob Weir, He and Jerry used to frequent that music shop in Menlo Park, CA. Jerry was working there at the time. Thanks for this fine lesson. Although I've been playing this for years I've never refined it and there are a lot of things I can do it from this lesson.
Great stuff. Love the bluegrass-esque tag at the end
You're a phenomenal teacher David, this is gold! Thanks from UK
AMEN TO THAT, Mike Dyer. How's this one, I've been playing 60 years, been onboard with Confidential about 2 weeks and he has already HELPED ME A WAAAAAY LOT.
so great... can't wait till 5 pm (guitar time)
Amazing Teacher , Fantastic lesson, thank you so much
Another great lesson as you are a teacher! I have bought many of your introduction to fingerstyle lessons at Truefire and no one teaches this style better! Guitar and Especially fingerstyle is a process of patients and baby steps, practicing a measure at a time. Oh, and that guitar is amazing! I would love to know more about it.
Just sliding into that A chord was worth watching and playing the D7th with the C7th form. Fun. Easy to do if you are already a Travis picker. Unfortunately, my fingers are not and never were very accurate, so I slide all over the fretboard but still manage to hit a few right notes.
i genuinely can't believe it's taken me this long to click about the borrowing 7 chords to go down the circle of 5ths. thanks so much! great lesson
Great lessons. Very generous teacher.
Brilliant teaching. And playing.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
I had a big breakthrough when I started learning about a similar tune last week and the C major scale and it's Am relative minor
This is the teaching ive been looking for to progress from sollid travis patterns into independent fingerpicking , thankyou.
Two hours every evening for two years and im just beginning to feel some development .
Boy this is the hardest thing ever, but i can see the rewards, way over there..
Really? Two hours every night for two years and barely any progress? That’s slightly discouraging
great instruction,, i like your delivery!
Great picking and good advice
Great lesson. Thanks for sharing
Took me 2 weeks ,now I think I have it,just the speed I need to practice on.
Thank you David (intermediate player )
If it took you two weeks it will take me two years, but I might get there eventually!
I love your wainscoting using guitar cases! Forward thinking! 😊 (Also, now I know what it means when I hear “the circle of fifths”! Thanks for that! 😊😊😊
thank you Mr Hamburger, brilliant and inspiring. Got more than I bargained for 👍
Thank you Its the only piece of music I keep coming back to over many years. Its going to be lovely applying some nuances like the Ole Black dawg himself even though the alternating bass nearly drove me away from the whole process Yes Sir thank you again and Gidday from Oz
You're an incredible teacher, David! I have many of your Truefire fingerstyle lessons. Thank you!! Just wondering if there's tab for this lesson?
Excellent lesson.
Great lesson. Easier than a lot of things that don't sound as good.
Loved this one!
No, you are not being too clinical. This is just what i need and i still have to write it down, pinch 4-1, pluck 6, pluck 1 etc. Once i get it the fingers will memorize things and it will come more better. My paper looks like i am figuring out faster than light speed or something. Thanks David.
You have amazing knowledge of the guitar but deliver lessons which are very user freindly for people like me who just want learn a great groove on the guitar.
Dang, a thousand Stars. Wow, so cool.
excellent, thanks
best lesson on ruggedpicking
Guess I’ll be looking into Fingerstyle five, this is addictive!
Music is Win has this great video that explains the chord theory behind that sort of thing and it really opens up a lot of possibilities. So the 5th of as a 7th always leads to that chord. Major or minor. So you can use all your regular chords than the 5th of them too as a 7th. And when you do that it often has a kind of old timey feel. Ragtime is a bit different but ... well, just play with it and have fun.

Many thanks for a really interesting lesson. Truly great breakdown on old style, and the breakdown of the beat. It looks easy, but it is an awesome challenge.
Great content, always cool.
Can I still play guitar if I don't have one of those hats?
I appreciate you describing the circle of 5ths theoretical description. It make a lot of sense to me when you put it that way.
It is definitely harder without the hat, but not impossible :-).
Thank you. I've enjoyed your great lessons for years (when you did not have all that grey in your beard!)
Very cool.
Superrr! 🤝
Hi. I am learning so much from this video. Tell me is this a good example of the kinds of lessions I will get if I sign up at your web site? The instruction is exactly the kind of speed I need to learn.
Helpful.
You Right!! A Little Goes A Long Way........
THANK YOU!!!!
Hey David. I'm a dobro and lap steel player but have been enjoying and learning plenty from your recent UA-cam Lessons. Love your teaching and demonstrating style. Was wondering though whether you have any dobro or lap steel specific lessons in your Online Lesson program or even on UA-cam maybe from way back. Thanks Mike
Man, you got pretty technical jargon so indubitably a do
Itś funny how the brain and the fingers don't interact at first; i felt completely lost for a week. But really great lesson, thank you!
I'm gonna learn this and get totally get rich. I'll never have to work again.
I thought I heard Roy Bookbinder in this. Great lesson. This is the first one I have been able to complete in just a single sitting. Thank you So much for this one. Now (sing I am a vocalist), I need to come up with some words to sing/talk with this.
You could look for the words to Blind Boy Fuller's "Rag Mama" (not to be confused with The Band's "Rag Mama Rag"). This is also the A section to "Black Dog Blues," which I think Roy does on his Live Book - Don't Start Me Talkin' album (which is not to be confused with Blind Blake's "Black Dog Blues"). As far as I can tell, Roy's version is based on a late 1920s recording by one Bayless Rose, which a look through Spotify reveals to have been anthologized numerous times and so should not be too hard to track down even if you're not a fan of streaming.
You could have a quick listen to Doc Watson's "Three Times Seven." Got a similar vibe; the descending bass is a trigger for me.
Roy teaches a version of this on one of his Homespun instructional videos. He calls it “C Blues” sometimes and at other times calls it “Black Dog Blues”.
Can this lesson be found amongst the archives should I sign up as a member? (Truely motivating!).
By the way, what year is that guitar (more or less)? Looks like right after the Crimean war. Good for this music. How can one be sad when playing this music?
The metronome comment made me laugh. Who would have thunk it.
E7 first leading to the A7?
🙄👍
So, what is David's last name?
👍 doesn't seem enough somehow.
Totally rad. Rag. Whatever.
Maybe ragtime is the missing link between blues and jazz.
Second time today someone calls a salty dog rag a "ragtime guitar" -pretty limited. IMHO it is not. Play some Joplin don't skip the octaves in the base!
Right? Which is why the first words out of my mouth in this video (at 1:15) are about the difference between what we call ragtime guitar and the music of Scott Joplin :-).
@@FretboardConfidential Fair enough. But what would you call playing Joplin on the guitar?
The title can be "The complete $diot's guide to ragtime guitar" ha ha ..... Is it necessary to explain that the frets are closer "here than they are over here" (9.40)? Really?
The point was not to *inform* people that that the frets are closer together further up the neck than at the nut, rather to explain that, since they are, that makes capoing up the neck a good way to develop familiarity with new and potentially difficult fingerings before attempting to play them in the most challenging location possible. That said, your proposed new title for this lesson is indeed hilarious; thanks for the considered input.
I wish he has a dog or something to hold when he's talking. I'm afraid he's going to poke me in the eye.
my problem with this videos is they are too slow and too much blah blah blah y rather see toplay an entire song and make stops to learn, no matter what the name of the notes
U can speed video up.
He’s teaching ,that’s why,no blah blah blah no learning 😂😂
