“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.

Sharon continues her exploration of “John Henry” this month. Last time around, she taught a snappy version in closed position up at the fifth fret. This time, she’ll show you how to make the most of playing it on the low strings with double stops in first position, and how to connect this new version with what you learned last month. In this video, Sharon walks you through the basic melody on the low strings in the first position, and then shows you how to embellish the sound with open drone strings.
