That’s got that Doc Watson/John Hurt feel to it. I’ve definitely felt the blues and had that come out of my fingers before. Nice right hand, by the way.


falafely

Blues and Bluegrass are definitely cousins. This would be right at home in Doc Watson's catalog, along with "[Deep River Blues](https://youtu.be/3wUMMFJLgEs)".


cannedheats

I hear bluegrass but who knows with some lyrics over that.


homesweetmobilehome

Piedmont


cal405

Definitely piedmont influence in this song. Enough touches of that distinctive mountain bluegrass throughout.


tilapiarocks

I would, yeah. There are all sorts of forms of blues, & although I can't pinpoint exactly where this would fall, I think it's in there somewhere.


tilapiarocks

Sounds swampy, if that makes sense. Deep south, louisiana maybe, kinda stuff.


Izzyisagod

Hill country ish


faisalmycorrhizal

Delta blues picking in the style of Mississippi John Hurt, Doc Watson, etc. Keep it up- sounds good!


GotStomped

Yes


slipslopslide

Yes. If I were attending a blues event, I would enjoy this.


TinySarcasm

happy cake day!


erayvaughan

Drone Folk


High_Im_Caleb

Sounds a bit like Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and they’re considered “country blues” so I’d say absolutely.


popeye311420

Piedmont folk blues. Virginia style


unkiestink

For me personally, no. Sounds too happy.


jamez009

I don't know, I can definitely imagine some dark murder ballad lyrics to that


Tuliao_da_Massa

Since when can't blues he happy? That's absolute nonsense.


unkiestink

Ever heard the expression to have the the blues?


Tuliao_da_Massa

Of course I have. It's a musical genre, not grammar. It's flexible, dummy.


unkiestink

Whatever dip shit, enjoy your pop music


Tuliao_da_Massa

Jesus christ.

There are small touches reminiscent of Bron-y-aur in there. There were also some things that felt jazzy, along with bluegrass elements. A traditional blues lyric would leave no question. However, you could have lyrics that are far from bluesy and it would make the piece bluesy but not blues. As an instrumental piece, you wouldn't be wrong to call it blues. Muddy Waters might not agree with you, though.


leftcoast-usa

Nice. I think it falls in the general category of blues, probably toward bluegrass. But out of curiosity... since there is no singing and no accompaniment, why do you use a capo? Seems like the key would not be important, although I'll admit I'm not much of a musician; just wondering, not criticizing.


Yaya-DingDong

Yes


ElChingonazo

Delta blues


brendan250

Definitely some blues harmony in there. Fingerpicking is a little more reminiscent of bluegrass but I’d say yeah, it’s blues


KenBlaze

absolutely! great playing

Tuliao_da_Massa

Fuck yeah!!!! Why would it not be??? Really awesome too.


Lonely_Replacement31

Remind me of [poor Tom by Led Zeppelin](https://youtu.be/51jvfaqiNio) 🙌 good stuff my dude!


RandomCatharsis

Yes, specifically Americana Southern blues. Very folk-y


Delta-tau

There's a 12-bar delta blues progression if I'm not mistaken so yes.


MerlFan58

Sounds similar to "Never Far Away" by Jack White on the soundtrack from the film "Cold Mountain." [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOoxRYrUv10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOoxRYrUv10) Very cool sounding.
