Shove the Pig's Foot a Little Further in the Fire

In this lesson

Single-string, melodic, and Scruggs, these solos have it all! The first solo is the basic melody, then the twists, tricks, and turns come quick.

    Is there a jam track for this at a slower tempo? 90 is still a bit quick for me.

    Take the capo off and play it in open G a few times, then put it back. Helped me hear it.

    Welcome aboard — you picked a good one to start on.

    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.

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