Up Around the Bend - Acoustic Interlude and Solo
I love this song! It is down right classic rock! I did my best to "acoustify" this song. The solo is played on electric guitar. I took out all the bends and replaced them with slides and hammer-ons to make it easier to play on the acoustic guitar. Have fun!
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Joan Baez Version
Recently a student of mine asked if we could work on this song. It's a great folk song telling the story of the last days of the American Civil War. In this video I am demonstrating the Intro, Interlude (part between the chorus and verses), and the Ending. Put your capo on the first fret and strum along with me.
Tango
A Tango is a traditional partner dance that originates in Argentina. Here is a somewhat simple tango for finger style guitar. It is in the key of G, so be on the look out for these chord shapes: G, D, D7 and Am. Pay attention to rhythm and stick to it, or it won't be a Tango!
