I very much enjoyed that. What genre of music would you classify it as ? Americana ?
I am usually a lurker in your musical threads, but that was good.
What was that ring near the tip of her pinky finger ? A 'slide' assist ? |

That is blues! Down and dirty delta blues!
I would consider blues a subset of Americana.
On her left pinky is a slide, to fret the strings. In the old days, people would use a bottleneck and that style can also be called "bottleneck guitar".
There is an ongoing debate as to where slide guitar started first. Some say that the Hawaiian steel guitar came first and others will argue that the delta bottleneck is older.
