Hey Kirk,
thanks for the new lesson. I think it's a great idea taking old folk songs and arranging them for finger style. If you're up to doing another along the same lines, I'd suggest Shenandoa - it's a gorgeous song. By the way, have you heard Bill Frisell's version?
Hi Doug, I mis-read your post as "taking old folks and arranging them for finger-style"
My guitar teacher has been teaching me first and second inversions for all the major and minor chords up and down the neck so I feel like I'm being arranged for fingerstyle.
I'm also the author of
PlaneTalk - The Truly Totally Different Guitar Instruction Book. The
lesson that this book, slide-rule and DVD teach is the
most powerful of all: the 'trick' to seeing the entire fretboard as
friendly, familiar territory. If you're beyond the beginner stage -- you
know your chords, scales, maybe even modes -- but you're still wondering how
to turn it all into music, how to invent and improvise, how to access all the bits and pieces, then this is the
book for you. You will also be able to join the private PlaneTalkers'
Forum and discuss the simple visualization technique with me and many
others. - Read more here .
