June Apple
intermediate guitar
This lesson is for members
Most bluegrass flatpickin' tunes are played out of G, C, or D positions, so I thought we'd change it up a bit. June Apple is in the key of A myxolodian, but we're going to play it without a capo! I really like the second A and B parts, where I work in some cool triplets that give it a Celtic feel.

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.

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

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

There's a slower track in the resources for this one. If you want it slower still, let me know and I'll cut one.
