  • -Guitar Lesson:
    This is a lesson for advanced acoustic players. Here I show you how to play a song in the Chicago Blues style with fingerpicking technique. We will play chords, sixths, bass. The Chicago Blues is a Blues music type that developed in Chicago, Illinois, by adding amplified guitars, battery, piano, bass and, sometimes, saxophone to the Delta Blues basic guitars and harmonica. Chicago Blues has another important feature of Chicago Blues is the presence of a large number of dominant "ninth" chords, as well as the presence of "novenas" notes on the scales. I hope you like it and enjoy it.
