Fingerstyle Delta Blues - Steady Thumb

Community Recordings Audio-Video Of You Playing

Hello,

Sometimes I feel like I am spamming community site too much with topics. :grin:

Today I recorded my new learned tune - Delta Blues with steady thumb.

I got here two highlights that I wanted to share with you.

Lick: This is the first one I really feel it is something and being able to play it feeds me with will I can learn everything. I am pretty sure it is not in time, because in original it needs to be performed really fast between beats, but I just like it!

Fast hammer pull hammer: This is something I had in my eye for few months thanks to Paul Davids cover to “Nobody knows you when you are up and down” and when I saw it I was like “ok, no”. And now I can do it little bit sloppy, but I can!

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share! :blush:

@DeltaTyne Thank you. :blush:
Paul mentions in lesson this tune can be played slower or faster - both versions sounds good. I think I am somewhere in the middle now.

For science I tried to play it without palm mute and it is such a huge difference in such a “small” detail. :sweat_smile:

Sounds really good. It is so hard to keep the thumb moving while finger picking strings to a melody line. Kudos for doing it well.

@frito Thank you very much. :slight_smile: I can remember I spent hours and hours by TV while learning independent thumb and some pattern when I started. First of all thanks to Paul Davids, but then when I went through Tommy Emmanuel thumb pick independent picking and I think this is place where I created decent base - even when it is sometimes sloppy I think it is not that bad. I am still polishing it through every tune I learn. Thank you for feedback. :slight_smile:

By this steady thumb style… I really love Justin Johnsons improvisation. :slight_smile:

Good stuff Michal. You’ve got the independant thumb thing down well. It’s a technique I’m currently trying to master but finding difficult.
Well done.
