Blind Boy will show three different levels of finger picking for all comers. The first third of the workshop will be basic finger picking for beginners – “dead thumb” and “alternating bass.” The second third will be for intermediate players on learning a song – “Louise Collins” or “Crow Jane” – whatever the audience wants. If there’s time for both we’ll do both. The final third of the workshop will be for advanced players, learning the picking patterns of Blind Blake and applying them to songs.
