“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.

| Will the Roses Bloom, Part 2: Higher Octave Fingering in D and New Double Stop Series |
The melody of “Will the Roses Bloom” covers a wide range, moving up to the 14th fret in the higher octave in the key of D, so, before teaching you the melody, Sharon shows you a position with your finger at the tenth fret, running through the double stops, scales, and arpeggios you’ll need to know to play “Will the Roses Bloom” in that position. She also shows you a series of double stops that walks up the major scale from the fifth-fret position to the tenth fret.
