THUMB
AND FINGER WORKOUT
Remember, the art of good fingerstyle blues, evolves
around the strong use of thumb and fingers. We need
to establish the 'thumb beat' and work around with
our fingers. The thumb beat can take on different
patterns. All the ideas are in E, but please experiment
with different chords and keys.
