Kicking off the first of our 10 challenges in our 10 day #CrossroadsUkeChallenge in an effort to play like the great Robert Johnson. We are going to explore this style from top to bottom and we are going to start with his fingerpicking rhythm.
Today we are looking at how Robert would approach a 12 bar blues in the key of A. No turnarounds, no licks, no frills, just the 12 bar approach and how he would fingerpick over it. We are going to break down that loop today and build on it with a turnaround tomorrow and some licks on Day 3.
Want to win a some Ten Thumbs Swag like a new T-shirt? Starting the 1st of December we are going to do a 10 day blues challenge dedicated to the style of Robert Johnson (that is why it is called the#CrossroadsUkeChallenge, because of the legend of Robert as a young man selling his soul to the devil. Starting from the most basic of basics up to playing and jamming in 3 different keys and a song of Robert's!
