John Barleycorn (Must Die) - Guitar Lessonby Traffic

John Barleycorn (Must Die) was the title song from Traffic’s 1970 album featuring Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi and Chris Wood. The guitar part has a very “Olde English” folk sound, partly due to the use of a capo far up the neck. This lesson goes over the chord progression and picking, and includes a little ear-training segment as well.
