Whiskey Before Breakfast- Flat 3rd Tone Study

guitar intermediate

In this lesson

This is a favorite fiddle tune of many Baptists. The only time they won't pick it is when other Baptists are around. We spend some time on theory learning how to manipulate the flat 3rd tone which will help us in our improvisation and solo-building!

    I keep losing the timing when I add the backup. Does anyone count this out loud or is that just me?

    Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

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

    Try measure 3 on its own at half tempo, and keep your right hand rolling even when the left hand is behind. The right hand is the metronome.
