Devil's Dream

guitar intermediate

In this lesson

Though this is a famous "fiddle" tune, it'll tickle your fingers to dance on this one a bit! I like it for a couple of reasons...One, it's in the key of "A" and we're NOT using a capo! Two, it's a perfect SPEED EXERCISE built into a song! If you want to get better, faster, and cleaner with your pickin' hand, and learn the neck from a different point of view, you're gonna love this one!

    Slowed the video to 50% and worked it a measure at a time. Two weeks in and it's coming. Patience is the lesson here as much as the notes.

    That's the one that made me finally understand backup. Stick with it.

    Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.

    There's a slower jam track under the resources tab on this lesson, worth grabbing.

    Not just you. I still count this one out loud and I've been at it four years.
