January 17, 2025
Just a little playing and a short tutorial on fingerpicking were on today’s agenda. I started the Update with some of my tune Tickle Me, then had a couple short announcements, and ended with a mini-fingerpicking course.
The new stuff this week included a lesson on It’s A Heartache by Bonnie Tyler, with a look at Rod Stewart’s version, of course, and some news about our lessons now including closed captioning.
The mini tutorial talked about an arpeggio pattern in 6/8 time (House Of The Rising Sun & Hallelujah), the same pattern in 3/4 time (Time In A Bottle), the basic alternating bass pattern (Landslide), a 3-3-2 arpeggio (If You Could Read My Mind), and a bit more complicated arpeggio as done in Neil Diamond’s Stones. This one might even be labeled a 4-3-3-3-3 pattern.
I hope it all, or least some of it makes sense.
See you again next week,
Neil
