That made today\u2019s Update somewhat short on substance and long on noodling and rambling.<\/p>\n<p>I spent some time talking about chord progressions that use strings of secondary dominant chords and played bits and pieces of things like Alice\u2019s Restaurant, She\u2019s Funny That Way, and Nobody Knows You When You\u2019re Down And Out. I also referenced some Renaissance pieces and cited some common progressions used way back then.<\/p>\n<p>This week saw a couple new lessons on tunes by The Band, both of which make good use of double time strumming. If you are new to that I suggest starting with <a href=\"https:\/\/totallylessons.com\/lessons\/2807\">When I Paint My Masterpiece<\/a>, whereas <a href=\"https:\/\/totallylessons.com\/lessons\/2808\">Stage Fright<\/a> might even fall into the advanced category.
