The acoustic guitar is able to produce a sound that is very different than its electric brother. Its use of natural vibrations, rather than electronic assistance, generates more soothing, calmer tones. In this, the 2nd release of the series, 'Acoustic Fingerstyle - Blues & Ragtime', our host Max Milligan shows how to get the most out of the acoustic guitar, teaching ways and techniques used by blues guitarists such as Big Bill Broonzy, Mississippi John Hurt and Keb Mo, to develop into a fingerstyle of your own.

The Acoustic Fingerstyle series of instructional programs will teach you all you need to master the acoustic style. This second lesson will soon help you master some of the classic acoustic RAGTIME and BLUES styles.

Various accompaniment ideas are demonstrated for the 12 bar blues through to the alternate picking styles of players like Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy and Keb Mo. The lesson finishes with a cool Country Blues instrumental.

Lessons include:

1. Basic 12 Bar Blues in A

2. 12 Bar Blues Variation

3. Broonzy Rag

4. Mississippi John Hurt Style

5. 8 Bar Blues
