Blues in A — fingerstyle New

Level 3 blues fingerstyle

The A7, D7, E7 progression played fingerstyle: the thumb covers the bass note of each chord while the index, middle and ring finger pick the treble strings in rhythm, no pick involved.

Tips

Keep the thumb perfectly steady on the bass notes before worrying about the fingers: it's what holds the whole pattern's tempo together.
