Kinda hard to put Piedmont Blues into words... Kinda like someomne askin' you to define what is red ot green...

But I played "Piedmond" blues at Archie Edwards Barrber Shop for years with folks who learned from two of the more notable Piedmont blues players in John Jackson and John Cephas... The barbershop jams are/were notorius for promoting this style of more intricate finger picking tham either Chicago of Delta style blues...

Those of us who have played at the barbershop have had Piedmont style ingrained in us... I still can play that style but prefer to play a harder edged Mississippi style blues... My homies back in DC know that about me 'cause I used to set up in the back room of the barbershop and lead Delta/Mississippi style jams...
