    Easy – yes.
    Fingerstyle – yes!
    Blues – oh, yes!

    This is just my cup of tea 🙂
    Thank you, Brian!

    Love these MicroLessons, Brian. Another nice fingerstyle pattern that can also be used to play blues in keys other than E. Thanks again.

    I am a frustrated finger picker but am determined not to chuck the towel in as i want to be a good all rounder like your self , i found this great and achievable along with ML27 . It would be great if there were more small piece chunk or short regular patterns for a loop that can be easily reached in little time just to get over the line so to speak . I do try the the the ordinary FS lessons but end up feeling swamped trying to go for the whole song . Well done Brian

    All of your lessons make me want to pick up my guitar and practise the songs. Inspiring.

    So simple and yet akin to walkin and chewing gum at the same time. This is just what I needed to give me a boost on finger pickin . Might take 500 repetitions before I get it but think once I do can branch out to other compositions and keys. Thanks again for sharing your awesome talents !
