Default Recommended publications for blues and folk/indie acoustic?

Hi, I would consider myself an Intermediate guitarist and looking for recommendations on any publications (online or printed) to learn blues and folk/indie style music and techniques. A long time ago I had guitar techniques and found it good when I played electric but Found it a bit lacking for acoustic.

Appreciate recommendations!

Why not just use all the free lessons on You Tube?
Just asking.
Here’s a link for the lessons on blues:

Glad to be of help.
I’ve improved a ton over the last couple of years thanks to these kind of sites.

Check out a guy named David Hamburger. Great blues musician, great teacher. Tons of great free online material.

I use Hal Leonard online guitarinstructor.com. It costs $99/yr but has tons of music, tabs, play along bands and instructional videos by top players. They have a 7 day free trial. Check it out.

Homespun has some great video lessons that you purchase and watch using the Purple platform. I would look at Roy Bookbinder, Mary Flower, and Woody Mann to name a few blues players.

IMO, Stefan Grossman is the main authority online for blues/ragtime guitar.
https://www.guitarvideos.com/
Most of what he produces you have to pay for, but there are links there for free stuff, and you can find some of it on youtube:

As for "folk/indie", if Bert Jansch counts, I have a few lessons/demos of his tunes on my channel: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...o3mUTKZvm59qEL
