Hilarious you bring this up but i just started doing this naturally after learning a handful of riffs and chords on the delta blues style. But i was tired of chasing chords up and down the string so i stayed put and was having fun figuring stuff out

I am really struggling with this one. I have the first part. The pinch and hammer on to open E string but get lost after that. I know you are going to say join and get the tab. Still love this style of playing and you are a great teacher.

Can you make the slide diagonal to hit the right notes in standard? Or is that just a pedal steel thing?
@BluesGuitarInstitute3 күн бұрын
It's possible, I think it's very difficult to get both notes in tune though. Maybe something I need to work on!

Banjo amateur here, about what you said at 30:27. Why not play the 4th string with the index finger? This question comes from a desire to meld finger picking guitar with scruggs style, is the index finger forbidden from playing bass? Disclaimer: I've been learning this without a thumb pick.
@BluesGuitarInstitute9 күн бұрын
The thumb usually picks the 6th, 5th and 4th strings as part of the alternating bass patterns. Part of the reason to use the thumb for this is that the 4th string bass is played on beats 2 and 4 and you can push through and play the third string along with it. You get that boom-chick sound happening (Merle, Tommy Emmanuel, etc). I think it would be hard to pick with the index finger because your picking upward and I think you'd lose the attack of the boom-chick sound. I guess the real answer to your question is that it's a very common picking style and has a great sound. But there are no rules, just common practices I guess and sometimes, I'll break my own convention to play strings with a different finger. But the thumb on 6, 5, 4 is my default setting...many others too. Great question.
