Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Eric Bibb started his career in the late 1960s and is viewed as one of today’s most important acoustic blues guitar artists. A prolific musician, he has recorded 24 studio albums and four live releases under his own name, and has collaborated on projects with a wide array of artists.
In this exclusive video lesson, Bibb demonstrates six of his favorite acoustic fingerpicking patterns, inspired by artists like Mississippi John Hurt and Bukka White. Bibb performs these parts solo, as he would in a live or recording situation, but pay particular attention to his innate groove and rock solid timing; that foot is tapping the beat all the way through and he's able to play right on it, or swing around it as he sees fit.
