Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Paul FilipowiczHe has been playing the blues for more than 40 years, all while working full-time in construction and roofing to make a living. This year, worn-out knees and elbows finally pushed him into retirement from the heavy labor. Even so, he hasn't slowed down. He's now building a cabin near Tomahawk using timber he harvested from his own 70-acre property. http://www.makingascene.org

In this episode I give you my top 10 tips for playing acoustic blues. 1. Learn the 12-Bar Blues Form Inside OutThe 12-bar blues is the foundation. Practice it in different keys (E, A, G) until you can play it without thinking. This will make learning songs and improvising far easier.2. Master Shuffle and Swing RhythmsBlues rhythm isn't straight—it's felt. Work on:Shuffle feel (“da-DA, da-DA”)Light swing These grooves make even simple chords sound authentic.3. Use Alternating Bass PatternsA thumbed bass line (with your picking hand thumb) adds depth:Thumb alternates between root and fifthFingers play melody on top This classic delta & country blues technique makes solo performances sound full.4. Start Using the Minor Pentatonic Scale EarlyIt's the essential blues scale. Begin in A minor pentatonic and E minor pentatonic—both fit comfortably on acoustic and match common blues keys.5. Add Blue NotesIncorporate:♭3♭5♭7 These give blues its voice. Practice sliding into them for expression.6. Work on String Bends & VibratoBending on acoustic is harder than on electric, but doing it well makes your playing expressive. Start with:Quarter-step bends (very bluesy!)Slow, controlled vibratoSimple half-step bends on the B and G strings7. Learn a Few TurnaroundsTurnarounds signal the end of the 12-bar form and make your playing sound “finished.” Classic turnarounds in E and A are essential vocabulary for blues players.8. Use Hammer-Ons & Pull-Offs for Acoustic “Snap”Blues on acoustic thrives on percussive articulation. Practice short licks that combine:Open stringsQuick hammer-onsSnappy pull-offs They create that raw delta feel.9. Study “Call and Response”Think like a singer:Play a short melodic “call”Answer with a rhythmic or melodic “response” This makes improvisation sound intentional instead of random.10. Listen and Imitate Blues LegendsAbsorb phrasing, tone, and feel from players such as:Robert JohnsonMississippi John HurtBig Bill BroonzyLightnin' HopkinsEric Clapton (unplugged style)Learning even a few of their licks will deepen your style dramatically.

Is this one of the best or worst method books for acoustic fingerstyle guitar? You can learn to play music by simultaneously using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Rainer's Acoustic Blues Guitar Picking School, written by Rainer Brunn, is a method book for learning to play solo fingerstyle blues guitar.  The material is generally appropriate for late beginner to intermediate players who want to learn this style.  The material progresses logically from an easy introduction to Travis style/alternating basslines and quickly ramps up to late beginner difficulty.  Text is kept to a minimum, so readers should spend some time analyzing the playing examples.  The entire book is fairly short and concise at 53 pages. The majority of Rainer's Acoustic Blues Guitar Picking School focuses on playing the blues using an alternating bassline, although some examples feature a monotonic bassline.  Each chapter generally features a concise explanation of one or two new concepts (i.e. inner and outer right-hand positions, the “long A” chord shape, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, etc.), provides a few playing examples to demonstrate, and finally provides a full 12 or 16 bar blues chorus utilizing the new concepts. My overall impression from going through this book is that it contains valuable information, but it is not as comprehensive as some other books.  You will gain important technical/physical skills to play fingerstyle blues, but there isn't much explanation on how to approach a new blues tune, music theory to help you choose the proper notes while improvising, etc.  Still, some people might prefer the concise text.  My advice would be to work through this book with a teacher or to combine this with another more comprehensive method book.  This book might make a great 2nd or 3rd book in your fingerstyle blues collection.  I got a great workout going through the book, I have immediately begun implementing some of the new ideas and chord shapes into my own playing, and I will be using some of the examples with my students. Chapter by chapter breakdown: Ch. 1: Intro to Travis style/ alt bass in blues keys of E, A, and C.  Intro to syncopation very soon.  If you are new to Travis style, then this will be difficult.  If you have some experience with Travis style, then this will quickly get you sounding bluesy. Ch. 2: Inner and outer RH positions – shifting thumb to pick 4th and 3rd strings while i and m fingers shift to 2nd and 1st strings.  Accompaniment behind a blues tune in D. Ch. 3: “Long A chord” – use pinky to reach 5th fret A note on 1st string.  Introduction of double alternating bass. Ch. 4: Hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides.  Intro to monotonic bass.  Intro to triplets.  Keys of E, G, and D with alt bass.  Intermediate territory. Ch. 5: Shuffle rhythm.  Advanced chord shapes (up the neck) for keys of E, A, D.  This is getting significantly more difficult – too difficult for beginners, in my opinion. Ch. 6: Thumb over the top.  Rag in C – really nice 16-bar tune. Ch. 7: Trickier hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides over Travis bassline.  Keys of E and A. Ch. 8: Using alternating m and i picking hand fingers.  Lots of cool chromatic melodies. Ch. 9: Accompaniment.  Variations to keep you from playing the same accompaniment pattern over and over. Ch. 10: “Moveable modules” – chordal or interval ideas that can be moved around to fit over different chords/in different keys. Ch. 11: Turnarounds – some good introductory turnarounds to learn and start implementing into your blues playing. Ch. 12: Two blues tunes with discussions/analysis. Videos available online – solid performances of examples that are helpful to view. The book doesn't use the modern percussive techniques used by modern players like Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, Mike Dawes, etc.  No thumb slaps, guitar body percussion, or tapping.

Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Yates McKendreeProducer Kevin McKendree puts it best: “Because of Yates's lifelong dedication to blues and roots music, he's developed a direct line from his soul to whatever instrument he picks up. When he sings and plays, you don't just hear it—you feel it. On these recordings, you'll hear him on guitar, drums, bass, upright bass, and organ. Beyond all that talent, he's my son, and the joy of my life is making music with him. The musicians on this album are also our closest friends. We hope you feel that love in every note.” http://www.makingascene.org

It's "barbecue," but you know...if you spell it "barbeque," or "BBQ," or "Bar-b-que," it's gonna taste just as good! I got an interview with my man Dave Graham of Graham's Up In Smoke in Philipsburg. Dave's got opinions about barbecue, and that's 100% cool, because he makes excellent barbecue: brisket, pork, chicken (when it's reasonable), sausage, turkey, and salmon. Yes, salmon...but you'll have to wait for Lent! Dave and I got well into the weeds, temperatures, wood, and cuts of meat, and you will be drooling by the time we're done.  I'll give you my opinions on barbecue as well; I have been smoking/barbecueing for well over ten years, and I will challenge your thoughts on this ancient method of meat magic cookery.  What else? I finally got my first Maibock of the year, from New Trail Brewing, and the Smack Dab In The Centre segment is about three GREAT music venues in Centre County (all of them have a liquor license, so, you know).  Next episode? I've got an interview on Monday that I have wanted to get for longer than we've had the podcast, an OG beer bar that I first visited over 20 years ago. That's going to be the heart of a great town profile, I guarantee.   See you in two weeks! Until then? TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE PODCAST!

Is the minor pentatonic scale over 3 thousand years old..... Probably not but today we are discussing the one scale to rule them all. We get into why the minor pentatonic scale is so heavily used for blues, where it comes from and what you should take from that. Should be a fun one!Support the showTo become a MEMBER and get access to over 2 Years of guitar lessons for just $5/Month head to https://www.buzzsprout.com/950998/subscribe
