In today's blues fingerpicking guitar lesson, we learn how to play "Make Me a Pallet On Your Floor" by Mississippi John Hurt. Hurt's fingerpicking guitar technique is one that is marveled and imitated by countless artists and players such as Ry Cooder, John Fahey, Doc Watson, Chris Smithers, and many more. Learning this song will provide a great boost and workout for your right hand technique.
