There's a great reason to get into finger picking blues. In short, it's the best of both worlds. The coolest thing about finger picking the guitar is that you play both rhythm and lead at the same time. This video will show you a cool rhythm and melody combined over a super useful A7 chord shape. If you need to brush up on this shape, check out lesson 1 in the Tuesday Blues Series: http://www.bluesguitarinstitute.com/lesson1 But, if you're ready to tackle this, fire up a metronome and get ready to pump out an alternating bass line over the A7 chord. We'll use the shape of the A7 chord in a couple of positions to make the melody notes accessible.
