Turkey in the Straw- Guitar Harmony

guitar intermediate

In this lesson

We'll learn a straight-ahead melody version, then add a harmony part! I created an advanced version years ago if you're interested in that!

    Ben, this one finally made the timing click for me. Been fighting it for a month. Thank you.

    Metronome at 60 and no faster until it's clean twice through. Boring but it works.

    I had that exact problem. Turned out my thumb was anchoring in the wrong spot.

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

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

    Memorization comes from playing it at a tempo you can think at. If you need the tab, you're playing it faster than you know it.
