INTRODUCTION
There are many ways to approach fingerpicking blues guitar and this is indeed what makes this study so interesting, challenging and exciting. I was lucky. In the early 1960s I began to hear various recordings by Rev. Gary Davis, Big Bill Broonzy, Brownie McGhee and Lightnin' Hopkins. I was hooked! Their energy, sound and feel made it obvious in what direction of guitar playing I was going to travel. I began to hunt for LPs of any bluesman. This expanded to searching for collectors of old 78s. The music of Robert Johnson, Charlie Patton, Son House, Willie Brown. Tommy Johnson, Blind Boy Fuller, Blind Willie Johnson, Blind Willie McTell and others could only be heard via their old 78s and these were quite rare, to say the least. During this exploration I made friends with other guitarists and blues lovers (Nick Perls, Steve Katz, Rory Block, John Sebastian, Marc Silber, John Fahey, ED Denson. Dick Waterman and Tom Hoskins). We jOined together into what Chris Strachweiz (owner of Arhoolie Records) dubbed "the Blues Mafia "!We hunted for old blues records. exchanged ideas on how these bluesmen played their guitars and even started to search for some of these legendary artists.
1963 and 1964 were important years for the country blues. Tom Hoskins, a "Blues Mafia" friend from the Washington, D.C., area, travelled down to Avalon, Mississippi. and rediscovered Mississippi John Hurt. Dick Waterman, Bill Barth and Nick Perls jumped into their old Volkswagen bug in New York City and began their search for Son House by travelling down to Mississippi, only to have his trail end up in Rochester. New York, where Son was alive and well. John Fahey and ED Denson sent a telegram to Aberdeen, Mississippi, addressed to Bukka White - "blues singer." Before long, they received a call from Bukka, who was living in Memphis, Tennessee. John Fahey, along with several friends, started to get tips regarding the whereabouts of Skip James, and after some searching they found themselves standing by Skip's bedside in a Mississippi hospital. Within a 12-month period the bfues exploded. The giants from the 1920s- 1930s were being rediscovered and presented to a new audience of blues lovers.
This was a time of country blues abundance. At a festival you could hear Rev. Gary Davis, Mance Lipscomb, Fred McDowell, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Skip James, Bukka White, Furry Lewis, Brownie McGhee, Robert Pete Williams, Lightnin' Hopkins, Jesse Fuller, Gus Cannon, Big Joe Williams, Lonnie Johnson and others. Many missing pieces of the blues jigsaw puzzle were being put together. I was in seventh heaven as far as learning blues guitar. I had been a student of the great Rev. Gary Davis since 1962. He had patiently guided me into blues and ragtime techniques and styles.
He was a master musician and a wonderful teacher. After spending two years with Rev. Davis I became very close to many of the newly rediscovered bluesmen, and they patiently explained and taught me their approaches to playing the blues. Fingerpicking blues guitar spans a wide area: from the gentle pulsating sounds of Mississippi John Hurt to the hard rhythmiC variations of Charlie Patton to the ragtime sportin' right hand of Blind Blake to the complexities of Rev. Gary Davis to the melodic ....
