"Staccato Blues" | Fingerstyle Blues | Printable PDF Tab/Sheet (Patreon)

Hi friends,

here is another blues piece I composed for you, for this arrangement I used the "staccato" technique. Staccato provide a different kind of feel and more interest in your playing.

to play staccato means to play very short notes. This is indicated in music notation by a small dot directly above or below the note.

for this piece I produced some staccato notes using the fretting hand by releasing the pressure on the fretted note immediately after playing. By lifting the finger, the note ceases to ring. When using this method of staccato, it is best to keep some contact with the string whilst still releasing the pressure. In other words, lift the finger enough to stop the note, but not so much that your finger actually loses contact with the string.

In the tab pay attention to the notes with a small dot directly below.

Good playing!
