Chapter 1: (00:32) Intro Music
Jim gets things started with some intro music in the key of D. In this lesson, you will learn how to play this basic intro tune. Through teaching this song, Jim will train you on the basics of playing with other guitarists. Get tuned up and ready for another great Phase 1 lesson!
Chapter 2: (05:31) Let's Play
It's very important to play with other musicians as often as possible regardless of your ability level. This will help enforce the rhythmic clarity and musicality of your playing. Chances are, you'll notice some flaws in your rhythm that you wouldn't have noticed otherwise. Playing with other musicians will help iron out these discrepancies.
Jazz guitar legend Pat Metheny preaches that the best way to improve your musical abilities is to be the least talented member in your band. Playing with more talented musicians forces and inspires you to become a better player yourself.
At about 1:30 Jim performs the intro music once again this time at a much slower tempo. Watch him perform this tune several times until you have the sound of the melody in your head.
Within the context of most guitar duets, one guitarist provides the rhythmic accompaniment while the other plays the melody. Often in the course of a duet, these roles will reverse. In this lesson, you will perform the role of rhythmic accompaniment while Jim plays the melody. The melody line is the focal point of any musical arrangement. For this reason, some basic guidelines must be observed when supporting a melody with any sort of rhythmic accompaniment.
1. The rhythm part is ALWAYS subordinate to the melody line. Therefore, the accompaniment should NEVER be louder than the melody.
2. If you make a mistake, don't worry about it. Just keep going. Everyone makes mistakes. The most important thing to focus on when supporting a melody line is rhythm. For example, if you strike a wrong note in a chord, do not let it faze you. Keep chugging away at a constant rhythmic pule. If the time feel is lost, the music falls apart.
The tune discussed in this lesson is played in the key of D major. Review the primary triads (I, IV, and V chords) for this key.
I chord = D
IV chord = G
V chord = A
Note: Open the Supplemental Content tab for diagrams of these chords.
The rhythm accompaniment consists of four measures. Once you reach the end of the progression, repeat back to the beginning. Here is a measure by measure breakdown of the chords:
Measure 1: D
Measure 2: G
Measure 3: A
Measure 4: D
To spice up the accompaniment, play the bass root note of the chord on beats 1 and 3. On beats 2 and 4, use a downstrum to strum the remaining strings in the chord.
Note: Open "Key of D Tab" in "Supplemental Content" for tablature to the rhythm accompaniment.
Before you attempt to play along with Jim, practice this chord progression repeatedly until you have mastered it. Always practice with a metronome! Start the metronome at a very slow tempo. Around 60 beats per minute is a good place to start. Every note you play should line up perfectly with the click of the metronome. Once you have mastered the progression at this tempo, move the metronome up one notch. Repeat this process until you have reached 90 beats per minute. This is close to the tempo at which Jim performs the tune.
At about 3:15 into this scene, he gives you an opportunity to practice the progression while he plays the melody. At about 4:30 Jim performs the tune at an allegro (fast) tempo. The metronome marking for this particular tempo is around 150 beats per minute. If you are just beginning to get acquainted with performing chord changes, this tempo will be way too fast for you at this point in time.
Chapter 3: (04:56) The Keys of G and A
In this scene, Jim transposes the song into two other keys for additional practice. "Transpose" simply means to shift to another key. The tune is first transposed to the key of G major. Review the primary triads (I, IV, and V chords) for this key.
I chord = G
IV chord = C
V chord = D
The rhythm accompaniment follows the same pattern when played in the keys of G and A. Beats 1 and 3 feature the bass root note of the chord. On beats 2 and 4, strum the remaining strings in the chord. Repeat the same process you followed in the previous scene to learn the rhythm progression in the key of G. Remember to practice along with your metronome! When you are ready, play the rhythm while Jim plays the melody at about 1:20. At 1:45, he plays the progression at a much quicker tempo.
Note: Open the Supplemental Content tab for tablature to this progression in the key of G.
Once you have sufficiently mastered the chord progression in G, repeat the same process with the key of A major. Here are the primary triads in this key:
I chord = A
IV chord = D
V chord = E
To simultaneously play the melody and chords in this key, Jim must use some alternate shapes of these chords. Notice how he plays the A chord by barring his first finger across the second fret. Alternate chord shapes are discussed in greater detail in later lessons.
Note: Open the "Supplemental Content" tab for tablature to the rhythm progression in the key of A.
Chapter 4: (09:08) Adding Some Flavor
Jim demonstrates how to spice up the rhythm pattern by adding one simple upstrum. In the previous scenes, beats 2 and 4 featured a downstrum. In the new pattern, beat 2 remains unchanged. However, an upstrum is added to beat 4. Now, this final beat is comprised of two eighth notes. On the first eighth note, play a downstrum of the chord. On the second eighth note (the “and†beat of 4) strum the chord in an upward direction. Listen to Jim carefully to get a feel for this new rhythm.
Practice the rhythm as slowly as possible to begin with. Strive for accuracy and clarity instead of speed. Isolate the strumming pattern with each chord before you put the whole progression together. Make sure that you are only strumming the appropriate strings when performing an upstrum. All of the strumming motion should come from the wrist, not the forearm.
Note: Open the "Supplemental Content" tab for tablature to this new rhythm in the key of D major.

Scene 1
00:00.000 --> 00:32.121
Listen as instructor Jim Deeming plays a tune.
Scene 2
00:00.000 --> 00:02.659
Hi, I'm Jim Deeming.
Instructor for JamPlay.com.
00:02.659 --> 00:08.812
Welcome to the next lesson in beginning guitar one, this is lesson nine and the title is "Let's Play."
00:08.812 --> 00:17.240
One of the things that I really think helps, particularly new students is to early on get use to the idea of playing with another musician,
00:17.240 --> 00:22.952
with another instrument and it helps reinforce staying on time, staying with somebody.
00:22.952 --> 00:29.662
This will push you to probably new levels on your chord transitions that we've been working on so far.
00:29.662 --> 00:37.209
So what I've done is, literally this morning, messed around with and came up with a melody
00:37.209 --> 00:40.482
that uses the three chords that we've talked about up until this point.
00:40.482 --> 00:46.775
The One, Four and Five chord and we can do this in any of the three keys that we now know.
00:46.775 --> 00:50.397
The key of D, the key of G and the key of A.
00:50.397 --> 00:59.429
So what I'd like to do is introduce you to this song and let you start thinking about what it's supposed to sound like.
00:59.429 --> 01:03.237
I hope the melody line sticks in your head just enough to where you can follow it
01:03.237 --> 01:08.601
and perhaps most importantly anticipate chord changes as they're coming up.
01:08.601 --> 01:18.075
What this is going to have you do, if you remember when we talked about 4/4 time, four beats for each measure.
01:18.075 --> 01:47.122
This song has four beats on each of your four chords and just like you heard me play on the intro the song sounds like this.
01:47.122 --> 01:51.185
Now what you will be doing while I play the melody line is...
01:51.185 --> 01:55.620
One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
01:55.620 --> 02:16.912
One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
02:16.912 --> 02:24.063
We're going to do two versions of this now in the key of D.
We'll do a slow one so that you can get use to the transitions.
02:24.063 --> 02:31.935
Then I'll pick up the pace a little bit and then you can loop that one through and play it with me a little bit faster if the chords feel comfortable for you.
02:31.935 --> 02:36.277
So let's get ready to go, we're going to start on the D.
02:36.277 --> 02:44.961
Four beats on each one and for now maybe what you want to start with is what I just did which is the bass note, strum.
02:44.961 --> 02:52.066
So, One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
02:52.066 --> 02:58.776
One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
02:58.776 --> 03:01.841
Do that pattern two times and you'll stay right with me.
03:01.841 --> 03:26.499
Let's give it a try.
One, Two. Ready go.
03:26.499 --> 03:29.727
How'd you do?
03:29.727 --> 03:35.973
Remember now we're going…
That pattern on each of our four chords.
03:35.973 --> 03:40.199
When we get to the beginning though we repeat the D twice.
03:40.199 --> 03:51.506
So we go, four beats here, four beats here, four beats here on the A, four beats on the D and that completes one half of it and then we start again.
03:51.506 --> 03:54.759
So in the middle there's actually eight beats on that D chord.
03:54.759 --> 04:04.534
So that get's you used to thinking about chord transitions on time in the middle of a song.
04:04.534 --> 04:26.197
Let's do it again.
One, Two. Ready go.
04:26.197 --> 04:36.089
Maybe you'd like to try it a little faster, we can do that to.
This song get's a little fun when we give it some tempo.
04:36.089 --> 04:53.178
One, Two. Ready go.
04:53.178 --> 05:09.942
Here's what your part sounds like.
05:09.942 --> 05:17.186
Ok give that a try.
Start with the slow version until you're ok with the transitions.
05:17.186 --> 05:19.949
Then try a few laps through the faster version.
05:19.949 --> 05:26.962
What we're going to do after this is we're going to play it in a different key and give you some practice on some different transitions.
05:26.962 --> 05:31.907
Hit the pause and rewind button and come back when you're ready to go to the next key.
Scene 3
00:00.000 --> 00:12.086
Ok, I hope you're getting along with the new JamPlay song.
00:12.086 --> 00:18.076
Now we're going to play it in the key of G and just a review these are all chords you now know.
00:18.076 --> 00:21.164
The G becomes your one chord.
One.
00:21.164 --> 00:25.297
C is your four chord.
00:25.297 --> 00:28.223
D is now the five chord.
00:28.223 --> 00:30.452
So that's our circle of chords.
00:30.452 --> 00:35.235
One, Four, Five, One.
00:35.235 --> 00:56.086
The JamPlay song in this key sounds like this…
00:56.086 --> 00:59.058
So while I'm doing that, you're playing the chords.
00:59.058 --> 01:03.585
One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
01:03.585 --> 01:08.647
One, Two, Three, Four.
One, Two, Three, Four.
01:08.647 --> 01:12.292
And that repeats again just like before only with different chords this time.
01:12.292 --> 01:19.723
Alright, let's setup and do the slow practice version.
Try it with me if you can.
01:19.723 --> 01:40.945
One, Two, Ready.
01:40.945 --> 02:04.605
Ok, now we'll do it a little bit faster.
02:04.605 --> 02:11.919
We're going to do the JamPlay song in the key of A now.
02:11.919 --> 02:28.892
Playing in the key of A now.
02:28.892 --> 02:36.647
Now what you're probably seeing looks a little different to you maybe than the traditional way or the way you've seen me show you these chords before.
02:36.647 --> 02:39.666
I have to do that in order to keep the melody going for you.
02:39.666 --> 02:45.749
This is an A, doing a little half bar here and that's because I need to get these notes
02:45.749 --> 02:55.385
and then here comes the D chord but the melody line goes underneath that D chord so I'm having to lift it.
02:55.385 --> 03:14.006
So it's looks a little funny to you but it's still a D chord.
03:14.006 --> 03:18.713
There's a little bit of a head-start on the fingerstyle lessons that are coming for you.
03:18.713 --> 03:26.817
That's one of the reasons that I'm pushing you so much to learn chord shapes and learn a few different fingerings of them is for this exact reason.
03:26.817 --> 03:38.633
You can be in a key and have a melody that needs to go around, in this case the A chord.
03:38.633 --> 03:49.662
All I'm doing, I'm thinking in terms of the same chord shapes and the One, Four, Five chords you're playing with me but what I'm having to do
03:49.662 --> 03:56.117
is add the melody line around it and keep something going on the bottom to keep our rhythm and chords going.
03:56.117 --> 04:18.407
In the meantime, you're chording with me right?
04:18.407 --> 04:40.929
Ok, let's do it a little bit faster, strum this.
04:40.929 --> 04:49.543
Alright, once again our goal here is to get some practice on your right hand, staying smooth and on rhythm
04:49.543 --> 04:53.746
and then work with the left hand on getting transitions in between these chords.
04:53.746 --> 04:57.159
We're going to be using these chords a lot down the road.
Scene 4
00:00.000 --> 00:14.013
Ok, now let's spice things up a little bit by changing what we're doing on the right hand.
00:14.013 --> 00:22.047
We'll slow down again, remember a while back when we talked about a playing a bass note and then a strum.
00:22.047 --> 00:31.172
That's what we're repeating but you may also remember a while back, lesson seven I believe when I showed you how to do an upstroke.
00:31.172 --> 00:45.707
Let's do it that way. One, two and three, four.
One, two and three, four.
00:45.707 --> 00:59.313
That also works with the JamPlay song.
00:59.313 --> 01:04.235
If I play a song this way, let me switch picks here for you.
01:04.235 --> 01:29.382
You're going to be going this way.
01:29.382 --> 01:50.802
It does work if you've timed it out right.
One, two, three, four and One, two, three, four and…
01:50.802 --> 01:59.277
Now what this is going to do as you can see, switching back and forth it will give you good practice on accuracy and transitions.
01:59.277 --> 02:10.852
Hitting that…
02:10.852 --> 02:21.696
And by way of review on the upstroke you want to remember that our goal is definitely to hit our root note correctly and a full strum on the first one.
02:21.696 --> 02:24.528
That sets it up.
02:24.528 --> 02:37.461
On the upstroke one though we slough a little bit, we come up and we don't necessarily hit all the strings and it's still ok.
02:37.461 --> 02:41.455
Remember we're going…
02:41.455 --> 02:53.366
What's typically happening you're at least hitting the first two, probably three but you're also letting up and almost kind of picking out a little bit.
02:53.366 --> 03:06.926
And lifting off.
It may help you to just practice this.
03:06.926 --> 03:17.189
You could do the JamPlay song that way to.
One, two and three, four…
03:17.189 --> 03:27.568
Or one, two, three, four…
03:27.568 --> 03:39.990
Ok, so at that tempo let's do two different patterns.
One, two, three, four and one, two, three, four and…
03:39.990 --> 03:49.254
Then this one…
03:49.254 --> 03:57.335
Alright here's a little note about making transitions, your right hand is helping your left hand get a transition done
03:57.335 --> 04:03.046
and what I mean by that is let's look at one of these in slow motion.
04:03.046 --> 04:15.001
Just play the bass note, down strum.
While we're doing the upstroke we can actually be moving.
04:15.001 --> 04:21.734
It's ok sometimes if you're not real loud about it you can get away with lifting that left hand and starting moving to the next chord.
04:21.734 --> 04:52.258
You'll want to slow down and experiment with what works, both right hand a left hand need to cooperate here to get a transition done.
04:52.258 --> 04:58.364
Now also if you watch my left hand during that transition and listen to what my right hand has done.
04:58.364 --> 05:05.582
You'll hear that very often times I'm hitting the root note of a chord before I've fully fretted it.
05:05.582 --> 05:10.992
That's probably the best thing you can get down to help improve your speed.
05:10.992 --> 05:23.856
Look at this, if we go D note, strum, our next one is going to be a G.
I got to be there no matter what else happens, on time.
05:23.856 --> 05:28.453
No matter what else happens and while I'm picking that one these other two can land.
05:28.453 --> 05:31.541
Now what's next?
05:31.541 --> 05:43.471
The A and that's an easy one I don't have to fret anything to get the right bass note I have that much time to get those lined up and in there.
05:43.471 --> 05:55.522
If you experiment with that at a lower speed I think you'll find that there are some things you can do to get those transitions smoothed out
05:55.522 --> 06:02.139
and one of them is hitting the bass note even before you've fretted it, obviously it has to be on time
06:02.139 --> 06:12.071
but if you know that in advance this doesn't have to be just a snap shot fast transition over here, you have a little bit of time where your right hand is
06:12.071 --> 06:18.244
covering for you by playing a bass.
06:18.244 --> 06:24.582
Watch the lag between when I play a bass note and when I actually fret the rest of the chord.
06:24.582 --> 06:32.779
Playing a one beat like this might help you see that.
06:32.779 --> 06:38.514
Also not thrashing around a lot here helps you build speed also.
06:38.514 --> 06:45.619
One thing that some beginning students tend to do is after they've completed one chord and they've got to go somewhere else
06:45.619 --> 06:52.143
it's like they've got to reboot the computer down here and start over again and the fingers will wing way off of the neck.
06:52.143 --> 07:03.172
That won't do anything except slow you down and it also hurts your accuracy so when we've talked about looking for minimal movement down here,
07:03.172 --> 07:06.934
when we've plotted, ok from this chord where is everybody going?
07:06.934 --> 07:12.065
These two guys are roughly in the shape they need to be, you've got to drop down to the G.
07:12.065 --> 07:23.919
That works pretty good unless after this chord I'm just completely letting go.
Then I'm starting over again to build the chord.
07:23.919 --> 07:32.711
Lift your fingers up off of the strings only a minimal amount and start moving smoothly to each next chord.
07:32.711 --> 07:40.861
That might not be a bad drill for you to try, it's not going to sound terribly musical to you but just watch your left hand
07:40.861 --> 07:51.688
and watch those chord pictures as they flow together, how smooth can you make that happen?
07:51.688 --> 08:07.314
The smoother it is and the less lifting that you do the faster your transitions and that's what you want smooth, clean, well executed chords.
08:07.314 --> 08:22.267
Then your right hand can do the group.
08:22.267 --> 08:27.770
While you're doing that for me I can play the lead.
There we go.
08:27.770 --> 08:55.331
Let's do it again.
08:55.331 --> 09:03.063
Ok, hopefully that's giving you something to work on and maybe have a little bit of fun playing with that song with me.
09:03.063 --> 09:08.311
Again make good use of your rewind button, get those down, take your time and have fun with it. Thank You.

Member Comments about this Lesson
Discussions with our instructors are just one of the many benefits of becoming a member of JamPlay.I'm good with all my transitions except G to C. I've tried the fingering that Jim teaches, but I have problems with the reach between the first and sixth strings. I was also taught a 4 finger version of the G which includes fretting the 2nd string, as well as the first and sixth, on the third fret. (The 5th string is down on the second fret, as usual.) This fingering makes transitioning to a D chord A LOT easier, but I guess complicates the C/G transition. I certainly understand the value of being able to use a variety of fingerings for chords, but as a beginner, I feel like I'm doing well to nail the ones I've learned. It can be very discouraging, especially when Jim thinks he's playing slow and it's all I can do to keep up with that! Heavy sigh!
Hi Jim, just finished lesson 9 and the simplicity of your key explanation blew me away. Loving every minute of your teaching! Cheers
I have a question about the finger placement for G. Is it ok to use index/middle/pinkie as I find that much more comfortable or is it best to stick to middle/ring/pinkie for switching between different chords later?
Like it.
In addition the tabulation does not show up strokes and down strokes.
I'm working on Lesson 9. Why doesn't the tabulation in the Supplemental section show where the 1/8 notes as syncopation appear? That would really help.
Great Jim ,I kept up with you on slow version of D,G,A.
I can hear Jim's voice for the lets play section but I cannot see him (I can only see black). This does certainly add to the challenge -jet I would really appreciate being able to see his hands and fingers!
Chord transitions, chord transitions - going to have this tattooed to my forehead! As the saying goes, you have to walk before you can run, and I have to have these transitions in both mind and muscle memory first. Great lesson. Thanks!
Jim, love the style and method you're teaching.
I think I will next use the metronome along with the supplementary sheet music. That should help quite a bit with the chord changes. Slow first till I am comfortable with it, then speed up a bit.. etc etc,, I think
Having a blast here! Man I like your style of teaching!!! For real!!!
Hi Jim, any chance you could provide the fingerpicking patterns for the melody you play. Really nice
What a great lesson.. although i am still stumbling along.. too fast for me. i seem to forget everything once i try to go faster.. Should i push myself even though i miss some cords??
jim hasnt replyed since 2008 ????????
Probably the forum is the best place.
i look at the responses but jim doesnt seem to be involved anymore.... how old are these lessons.
me too where is jim when you need to have help........... never a response to our questions...
hi Jim why did you add melody notes while teaching? i am getting lost because my sound lot different then you.
That was fun.
I get it now A is 2,3and4 fingers.
Hi Jim I sometimes go to play the A with 2and3 fingers ,is this wrong? Im really enjoying your lessons ,thank you.
I think I'll come back to this lesson every now and then. It's a great measuring stick to gauge my improvement. After pushing ahead through a few more lessons, I came back to this one and I could tell the difference by how well I can now keep up with you! Thank you for a great lesson.
This lesson a bit too fast for me too. My fingers just don't make the G chord shape or transitions to the G that quickly. I like this lesson though if I can pull it off eventually.
Way too fast, way too soon. Otherwise it would be a good lesson.
Jim thanks. I knew I had some bad habits with timing. I needed to go back to basics.
Jim thanks I have some bad habits. I knew this. I needed to get back to the basics.
felt like I was making progress on chord transitions until I started this lesson. I got frustrated really quickly. I am going to get a metronome today and work on the transitions for a few days before attempting the lesson. I think the transitions have to me much better before I can make any real progress
After several days of practice with a metronome, I was able to follow along fairly well in the key of A. Now a few more days for the other keys and the right hand technique. This is turning into a 2 week lesson, but I sense that this lesson is an important foundation for everything else that we will do
Teaher Deeming I think you are forgetting that i am a beginner... :(
Is there a way to create a loop so that we can play a segment over and over and over without having to stop and mess with the mouse?
Yes, there is. Simply use the "A" and "B" tabs to create a beginning and end point, and the program will loop automatically until you press either tab again.
could you please teach this fingerpicking song to us maybe in the phase 2 fingerpicking section? i love this tune that you wrote and would love to learn it but it is just too fast for me to catch on to by looking at it.
i see exercises for this lesson but no tabs for the song itself...
I may actually master the darn thumb pick thanks to this lesson. Thank you so very much. I've been playing for three years and am trying to incorporate a thumb pick which is like trying to teach a cat to swim.
Jim, really enjoying the lessons. Your method dovetails with my ability to understand and apply. Thank you!
WILL THERE BE A LESSON TEACHING THE WHOLE SONG? YOU ARE A GREAT TEACHER JIM--THANKS --ORVIN
JAMPLAY SUGGESTION: How about adding a tab next to "Metronome" for "Tuner" so we can tune up before each lesson... (quicker than going to all the other links for finding the tuner)
Fingerpicking to this song?
Where can we find the tabs for this lesson. I love the fingerpicking.
I still feel this is too fast for me....I had too many breaks in practice due to Eczema so i'm struggling with transitions speed still...I'm working on it though, but fingers are still very sensitive....so must build up callouses again...arghhh
I'll have to practice practice practice for this one...eczema on my fingers makes me have to take a lot of breaks from practice...my fingers get raw for months at a time...i'm back now though....so callouses not formed yet...hopefully I won't have to stop again.
hi Jim. in lesson 9.how the right hand picking patten. thanks.you are great teacher.
The metrenome advice really has improved my transistions and trying to play perfectly with the metrenome becomes adictive after a whiile. Tough lesson but it has definetly resulted in a big leap in my playing.
I also like the lesson, but I cant see what is happening in the strum, is it pinching all the strings or strumming ? I wish I could see the melody notes also.
Oh and i really appreciate the way u teach the lets play lesson. Makes it feel like your actually here helpin me along as i learn to play these songs.
Hi Jim. I've had actually been playin for almost a year trying various online lessons and stuff. This lesson addressed a problem ive had for a while. I always asked in forums and such for a teacher to address ways to improve transitions and your the first person who has actually made it make since to me. Thanks.
hi Jim i am an oud player i started last week to try the guitar i did learn allot i really enjoyed and under stand some of the trick thanks i’ll keep up
Hi Jim, I'm really enjoying the lessons but I am getting confused on A7 vs. A Major . . . which goes with which key? Key of D is A7 I think and and Key of A is A Major. Thx!
do you rekomend to do the g with your pinky, ring and longfinger for finger style? or is it alright if you do it with the point finger
I recommend learning both. Then use whichever one is most suitable for the situation. By default I use the pinkie-version most, but neither is right or wrong.
I've done a bunch of other lessons and keep coming back to this one. It's really challenging and rewarding. I agree I'd like to see more like this.
There's another one on the way :)
very good lesson learning to play with someone else can be hard thanks for the lesson jim
What happened to just using a pick? Now we have to learn how to finger the strings? Too much!
If you could post the tab for the JamPlay song. The one from the intro.
Like I said before, I've been play for quite a while... But I haven't taken the time to "learn" the guitar properly. What I'm have trouble with, is correcting my bad habits that I've developed over the years. Like playing the D chord using my index finger as a bar. Or playing my G with my index and middle finger on the low notes. Or just plain cheating and playing a sloppy A chord with a single index bar. All of those are slowing my transitions. And just not letting my chords ring as clean as they could. I have some work to do!!!
Jim: This is one of my favorite lessons. Could you please do more like this one? :o) S
I love getting away from the drills and actually playing something. At the moment I'm stumbling along with the right hand but am having trouble consistently hitting the base note. Great lesson 1
Hi Jim thanks for this great lesson. Got me frustrated a couple of times but after a few hours, when i was finally able to do these chord transitions flawless, wow that felt good! Really felt like my chord transitions (for these chords) have improved an incredible lot. thx again!
I would like to see the fingering of the picking.
I like this lession, but it seems so fast with right hand, so i can't catch up
Jim this was another great lesson! I'm learning a lot about timing, and I think I'll be spending a while on this one.
