Description
HERE IS WHAT THIS VIDEO CONTAINS
**LEVEL – Solid Beginner and UP** (see below)
Tabs included (you will get the link to the video, and link to the tabs upon purchase).
- Play through – I will do a moderate play through, then really slowly
- Tab look through – we will look through and discuss the tab together briefly
- Teach you the song – I will break it into about 4 measure chunks and teach you each section and play it slowly and talk you through each note.
- Then when I go to the next section I will do the same, break it down and teach it. Play it through a bunch.
- Next we will play both sections slowly.
- After we go through the whole song, we will then play it slowly some more.
- Next we will go over the chords! We will slowly play the chords along to my TEF file player playing the melody.
- Lastly, we will work on methods to embellish the song
- Using slides, pull offs, hammer ons
- Discuss the use of double thumbing, brushes, thumb whacks and all sorts of fun stuff.
- THERE WILL BE NO DROP THUMBING – this is a beginner lesson and I feel that is not a beginner technique; BUT, drop thumbing does sound good on this song (as with most) so it’s something to work towards later.
- This will be FUN!
After the Livestream – you will be able to watch that video as much as you like over and over again.
**LEVEL – You should be very comfortable doing the basic clawhammer stroke, and alternating clawhammer stroke. You should be able to play a minimum of 3 songs already. You should be confident with understanding what I mean when I say – 3rd string 2nd fret, 3rd string open – etc. If you are beyond this, you might still enjoy the lesson as I will be showing you how to embellish a basic melody after teaching it.
