  • -Guitar Lesson:
    This is a lesson for advanced acoustic guitarists. I show you how to play a song in the style of American folk. In this lesson I use the hybrid picking technique (pick and fingers) to arpeggiate, play chords and melody at the same time. Bass is played with the "alternate bass" technique typical of American country and folk. It sounds like a movie soundtrack because I use an open D tuning that gives us a special sound in the chords. I hope you enjoy this original composition.
