Tom- thanks for all your knowlegable posts here.I have enjoyed Piedmont Blues, since 1946, when I was four years old. Another person known for Piedmont Blues was Josh White. He had a television bit which was 15 minutes, once a week, in the early 1950's, shown on the East and West Coast, but not allowed to be shown in the Mid West, or Southern portion of the United States.

Etta Baker is well known for her song, "Freight Train". Her guitar style is her own, and she was a most delightful person.

I still enjoy playing Piedmont Blues, and it is but one of the many styles available, but not too popular. I just like good music, and good people!

Thank you ! I struggled for 2 days to get palm muting to work. Got it in about 2 minutes after watching this video. Sometimes you hear something and don't pick up the importance. Like Griff saying connect the palm to the bridge. That broke the code....Awesome . It actually works!Does this help?

If not, you might try some other examples.
