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 has chosen the classic “Nine Pound Hammer” in the key of A for her next exercise designed to increase your musical vocabulary for moving between positions on the fingerboard. To date, most of the exercises for moving between positions have taken you from upper positions to lower ones using descending runs; this time, you’ll move up the fingerboard with a familiar scale pattern. In this video Sharon shows you a basic version of the verse and chorus of “Nine Pound Hammer” in the key of A played in open position.
