need fingerpicking help

Post by rice_pudding »

hello everyone!

im wondering if anyone can recommend me a good website or book for learning folk/blues fingerpicking.

i've been playing classical for a while now and get on fine with it but when it comes to blues fingerpicking i just cant seem to twig it. I think the problem is the rhythm of the bass notes combined with all those slurs in the melody line. I've got a book already but im not getting along with it too well.

any advice welcome I really want to learn to play this style of music but unlike with classical i cant seem to get it right.
