Easy Delta Blues Guitar Techniques in Drop D Tuning

Been getting a lot of requests for Delta Blues guitar and Mississippi Blues, so here we go. I'm going to show you some super fun techniques that'll get your foot in the door with this style without overwhelming you.
We're dropping the low E string down to D (Drop D tuning), which opens up a whole world of cool stuff — a droning bass note under your licks, easy access to the three blues chords, and some great double stops that sound way more advanced than they are.
If you get even one or two nuggets from this one, you're adding something real to your vocabulary.
