About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

We have 3 solos for this tune in G that progressively get more complex. We'll start with the basic melody, then add strums, then add hammers and pull-offs to beef it up! It really serves as a pick hand exercise more than anything, but it's FUN to do!

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

    Count it out loud. Everyone says it and everyone's right.

    You're not behind. Two weeks on a lesson like this is normal and healthy.
