This week I have been continuing to listen to the early Bob Dylan albums (as well as some of the 1970s ones), and thought Girl From The North Country would make a cool lesson. He reused the same progression a little later for Boots Of Spanish Leather, so you can probably figure that one out after working on it. He also redid the progression and released a different version of it on Nashville Skyline. That was a duet with Johnny Cash and not nearly as fun to play, or even listen to as the first version from The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan album. I did lightly cover the later version in the lesson anyway.

Other than that, I have been practicing a bit this week to be ready to play some tunes at our International Guitar Camp next week. I ran through parts of a lot of pieces that I don’t play very often but they are fun when I revisit them. Today had snippets of The Fisherman, The Last Steam Engine Train, and Windy And Warm, along with a full, but shaky run through a bossa nova of mine called Along The Way.
I hope you enjoy them and I will be back sometime next weekend with an IGC report.
