How to Get Started Playing Piedmont Blues 

I think I just discovered my favorite style of blues

John, you are a natural teacher - I'm grateful for all these lessons. Blessings

What an awesome sound those Piedmont blues. Thanks John!

Suburb explanation. I really like the way this picking method is broken down into four interconnected techniques which are easy to understand.

I am also praticing. N it's great

Incredibly helpful to my playing! I’ve always cherished these blues artists because they are incredibly familiar in their guitar playing and it seems unattainable, but these techniques!!!

Excellent lesson - perfect pace, straight to the meat and potatoes, and now I’m jamming a Piedmont rhythm. 🤘🇺🇸

Blind Willie McTell was often accompanied by Charlie Weaver.

Thanks J… Bless

Natural teacher have you considered using a second camera for angles to show picking pattern and fretting hand

Basically, if ya wanna learn blues, look up Blind [insert any common first name here]

Respectfully, you missed the most important part in your video. The portion of the Piedmont region in the southern United States, is closely associated with the Piedmont blues, a style of blues music that originated there in the late 19th century. Most Piedmont blues musicians came from Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia. During the Great Migration, African Americans migrated to the Piedmont. With the Appalachian Mountains to the west, those who might otherwise have spread into rural areas stayed in cities and were thus exposed to a broader mixture of music than those in, for example, the rural Mississippi delta (Delta Blues). Thus, Piedmont blues was influenced by many types of music such as ragtime, country, and popular songs-styles that had comparatively less influence on blues music in other regions. It's good to actually tell people the history behind the style of music you are playing, because in the end.. That's a part of the lesson.
