While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The Beatles’ classic “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” makes a great fingerstyle guitar piece. In this lesson, Stevie shows you how to get an alternating bass going (Travis style) and then find the melody on the treble strings. Learn the infectious signature melody and bass line that start the verse in Part 1.

622, Part 1

In this lesson, you’ll learn Stevie’s original “622,” a fun instrumental tune in dropped D tuning. It’s mostly in the key of D major (the third part goes to D minor for awhile) and uses a number of C-A-G-E-D-based shapes up the neck, particularly the A-shaped D chord. Stevie plays the tune through, and then takes it apart, phrase by phrase and measure by measure, showing you how to find each up-the-neck shape and get a nice, ringing sound for the melody notes. You’ll learn the A part in this video.
