This lick is a satisfying run up and down the fret board, using repeating motifs in different octaves. As this settles into the muscle memory, you’ll find you can use momentum to get up to those high notes. I think I play the slowed down version slightly differently from the full speed – but it doesn’t matter. There are so many variations you can use on this one. It’s in the key of A.

Here’s a handy little turnaround based on an Eric Clapton run from Key to the Highway. Have fun! #fingerstyle #bluestr #guitarist #guitar #guitarlesson

Here’s a dark little acoustic lick based on Dweezil Zappa’s electric guitar playing. It’s in the key of A. Have fun! I bend the strings a lot, but that’s how I dial in the Delta Kid sound. The string bends and vibrato are optional, though. #bluestr #guitarist #guitarlessons #guitarlicks #guitarriff #guitartutorial #acoustic #acousticguitar #fingerstyleguitar #dweezilzappa

Here’s a mash-up of Lightning Hopkins, Keith Richards and Eric Clapton style licks. #bluestr #guitarlessons #guitarlicks #acoustic #guitarist

Here’s a new series - Delta Kid: Essential Finger Exercises. The first half of this one’s loosely based on a Billy Strings run, and the second half is standard bluegrass runs in three positions up the neck. A good one to get the fingers moving. The plectrum technique is basically up and down. Simple as that :) I’m using my 1940s Harmony guitar. Have fun! #tunestr #blues #guitarist #guitarlessons #guitarlicks #guitartutorial #guitarriff #acoustic #acousticguitar #fingerstyleguitar

Busting out the favourites at the brilliant Moody Cow this evening :) Bob Dylan’s Don’t Think Twice It’s Alright. Who doesn’t like a bit of wailing harmonica?

Here’s a slick little chicken … People ask where I get my ideas from. I lick a frog. #blues #guitarist #guitarlessons #guitarlicks #guitarriff #acoustic #acousticguitar #fingerstyleguitar #fingerstyleguitar #tunestr

My song Shotgun Blues, which I perform with the band Hollow Log, got played on US FM radio station Humboldt Hot Air’s Coastal Underground show. Check it out.

Ultra-local. Oozing an endemic vibe. The Coastal Underground is a provincial playground of musical regionalism; a two-dimensional soundscape born o...

@micahcmiracle @khha94.7 Great show! #tunestr #blues #guitar #acoustic #acousticguitar #guitarlessons

From yesterday’s Delta Kid solo gig. Trying to make it sound like there are two guitars and a drummer. #tunestr #blues #guitarist #acoustic #pubgigs #music #guitar
