Most all songs are fun to play, but there are some that are simply a blast to pick! We'll start up high with a fairly straight ahead melody presentation, then drop down an octave and introduce some boogie woogie licks.

    Third time coming back to this lesson over two years. It's amazing what shows up when you're ready for it.

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

    Great question. That's a slide going into the B part — I play it as a slide but a hammer-on works fine if that's cleaner for you. Do what sounds right.

    Recording yourself is humbling but it's the fastest fix I've found.

    Try it without the pick for a few passes. Sounds silly but it told me my right hand was doing too much.
