Lesson notes

Answering Bell is a song from Ryan Adams first days as a solo artist. It was on his second solo album Gold, released in 2001. The song features a little flatpicking at the beginning before settling into a nice campfire, sing along song. The lesson goes a bit into using your right hand to slightly mute the bass strings at the beginning of each measure, as well as how to count syncopated changes, where the accent falls on beat 4 rather than beat 1 of the next measure.
