About this lesson Tabs & MP3s Need Help?

I was first introduced to counterpoints as I memorized Bach Two-Part Inventions as a kiddo. They can be complex, and they are awesome. We're going to borrow a bit of that theory to help make our chord changes more interesting. Enjoy!

    My fingers know it but my brain doesn't yet — I can't play it without the tab in front of me. How do you all commit these to memory?

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

    Glad it clicked! That timing is the whole point of this lesson, so if that landed you got what you came for.
