    About this ebook

    ‘I’ve been asked many times if any of my Blues and Ragtime tunes were available in one collection. So, as requested I’ve chosen some of the old
    and written a few more and put them together in this collection Blues and Rags’. As a guitarist I have always had a fascination for fingerstyle.
    To simply strum with a progression of chords was never enough for me, and I constantly wanted more from the guitar. Great players like Big Bill Broonzy, Rev Garry Davis, Bert Jansch, Ry Cooder became my heros and provided me with my eureka moment. The sixteen original tunes in this collection are all inspired by these fingerstyle greats. It’s not a teaching manual, although there are a few warm ups to get you in the mood. The manual includes suggestions on how to play the tunes and there are video links to all the examples. Simply enjoy and pick along!
