Hi,

I'd like to play fingerstyle blues on acoustic guitar. Is any good book, DVD out there that goes through all the technique elements - like slide, steady thumb - along with some nice songs ?

Thanks,
Frank

Hi Frankyie, I see you live in Toronto as well. I have two recommendations, try either Steves Music Store or the Worlds Biggest Bookstore. I've seen quite a few fingerstyle books at both of those places and you can also try Metro Sound & Music Ltd at 486 Yonge Street. They have loads of guitar books there and the last time I was in the store I saw quite a few on fingerpicking.

I found Happy Traum's DVD set Easy Steps to Acoustic Blues Guitar a good intro.

I also like Fingerpicking Guitar Techniques by Stefan Grossman

Both sites have a lot of other titles, so cruise around them.
The art of acoustic blues guitar, the basics.

Woody Mann, it has tab and a DVD and it is quite basic. Great starting point.
