This modern day piece, (famously known for its poignant use it Ken Burns’s HBO Civil War documentary), has all the hallmarks of an old timey folk song and makes for some great studying. I’ll show you how to play the stunning melody, how to deliver a good acoustic tone and also how to accompany the melody with appropriate chord voicings, movements and bass runs. We also speak about how to vary and embellish a simple melody to keep things interesting! Rosie steals the show a couple of times in this one 🐶 ⏱️TIMESTAMPS⏱️ 00:00 - Performance 02:12 - Introduction 02:43 - A section melody 03:40 - Focus on Chord Tones 05:22 - Ornamentation 06:14 - Lesson Materials 06:35 - A section continued 07:11 - B section 08:15 - B section so far - with counting 10:37 - Melody play through with Metronome 12:31 - Minor to Major Third Blues trick! 13:11 - Picking and Tone 14:15 - Chord Study 14:53 - Basic Changes 16:13 - Harmonic Analysis 17:59 - G5 18:51 - Bass Runs 22:58 - Rhythms 23:53 - Summary 24:36 - Tone Talk! 25:53 - Rosie Cameo!
