“Will the Circle Be Unbroken” comes from the Carter Family and is one of the most well-known bluegrass and old-time country songs. As with the last couple of lessons, you’ll learn to create a melody-based solo to “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” in the key of D using the L shapes, arpeggios, and double stops. Sharon shows you how to harmonize the melody with double stops in this video.

In this lesson, Sharon uses the folk and bluegrass standard “In the Pines” to show you another common way to move out of the closed-position L-shape fingerings you’ve been learning. “In the Pines” is in waltz time (3/4) and you’ll learn it in the key of D. Sharon starts by walking you through the melody and showing you how it relates to the chord progression.
