Lesson notes

Hank Williams is known as one of the greatest musical legends in country and for good reason. This arrangement of his song is in a chord-melody style that has a moving bass line with the vocal melody played on the upper strings.

By learning this type of playing style (similar to Travis-Picking) you can learn how to create your own arrangements of songs including the bass line, melody and chord structure.

Although, not a very long tune, this one is full of great chord-melody shapes that are not only easy to learn but also easy to translate into other styles of music.
