Hirsch, who's known far and wide around these parts as a chameleon-like guitarist, possesses unholy talent in nearly every style imaginable. He's also won two consecutive Wammie awards in the "Best Guitarist" category, and plays like no other in town. If acoustic blues is your bag...then your ship is about to arrive.

   Blues guitar lessons book.
Finally finished a blues guitar lessons book that works better for those students who are on their own.
THE BLUES GUITAR BOOK "Thumpin' Thumb and Fiery Fingers" (or flappin' flatpick).
This is a 166 page book with 69 tracks on 2 CD's. I am putting the first 10 lessons (about 20% of the book)on line in pdf and mp3! (See learn page.)The physical book is now available!
In this book are the tools to understand, create, and build a blues musical vocabulary. Knowledge that can solidly support you in your quest foe blues artistry. Those things you need to know in order to play strong, convincing blues guitar. This book concentrates on finger picking style blues.
It stresses independent thumb/finger(s)but most all of it works well using a flatpick.
On sale now! Also, the 39 page manual I use for some of my workshops is still for sale!Blues Workshop ManualSee "LEARN" page on this site.


I placed some of the lessons from both books on my "White Pages" mainly for my students (past, present and future) and anybody else who might be interested. There I also rap, rant and rave about music in general, about guitar playing, gigging, jamming, and learn-guitar-lessons. Stuff I have learned from my students over the past 30+ years of teaching. You can also download (PDF) free guitar lessons on those white pages, and a lot of my recorded music.
