infoAbout This Title
Hey everyone!
Get ready for an energetic, high-tempo fingerstyle workout! Today I’m excited to share a brand-new original piece: "Bouncing Blues".
This upbeat track features a complete arrangement structured with a crisp Intro, a main 16-bar blues section, and an ending Outro. The piece relies heavily on a fun call-and-response dynamic—alternating snappy chord pops with punchy low-end bass phrases.
Video Setup & Progression:
To help you build up your speed naturally, the performance video is split into two tempos:
First Pass (120 BPM): A moderate, steady tempo to get comfortable with the phrasing, call-and-response timing, and chord switches.
Second Pass (145 BPM): The full-speed playthrough to test your stamina, thumb independence, and groove!
What You’ll Work On in This Lesson:
Full Song Structure: Practice transitioning smoothly from the Intro into the main 16-bar body and closing with the Outro.
Call & Response Phrasing: Master tight timing between low-register bass answers and crisp chord stabs.
Gradual Speed Building: Practice at 120 BPM before locking into the driving 145 BPM tempo.
What’s included:
Full Play-Along Video: Clear close-up performance (no-talking format) featuring both tempo passes.
Printable PDF TAB & Sheet Music: Complete notation with precise fingerings for the Intro, 16-bar section, and Finale.
Download the PDF below, start with the 120 BPM pass, and push it up to 145 BPM! Enjoy the groove!
