Photo courtesy of Wikipedia.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I came across a great video on YouTube the other day. It&#8217;s a full documentary about the Piedmont style fingerpicking blues, straight out of the East coast Appalachian foothills. The documentary is called Blues Houseparty, in celebration of the old blues houseparties that local folks used to throw when the blues was taking hold in the communities at its roots. I know it&#8217;s a long video, about an hour long in fact, but it was so good to hear about the roots of the East coast Piedmont Blues that I couldn&#8217;t help but share the whole thing. There are performances, dancing, stories, and a whole more so I truly you hope you enjoy the whole thing as much as I did!<\/p>\n<p>The documentary &#8220;Blues Houseparty,&#8221; was produced by Eleanor Ellis and features a whole lot of great Piedmont style blues,\u00a0 fingerpicking and guitar playing. Enjoy the entire documentary at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e21nqPuo6HU\">http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e21nqPuo6HU<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[youtube_sc url=&#8221;http:\/\/youtu.be\/e21nqPuo6HU&#8221; height=&#8221;420&#8243; rel=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I know it was a long video, but hopefully you had enough time to enjoy the whole thing.
