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.

Both Sides Now, Part 1
 
This arrangement of the Joni Mitchell song “Both Sides Now” comes from the great Chet Atkins. You can see him play it on the Tonight Show in 1974 here. The arrangement is in G6 tuning, which lowers the fifth and sixth strings down a whole step, so the tuning from bottom to top is D G D G B E. Stevie shows you how to get into G6 tuning and talks about some of its advantages. This arrangement features a steady alternating bass pattern, mostly on the fifth and fourth strings, and includes a few tricky fingerings. Stevie walks you through each measure of the arrangement of the verse of “Both Sides Now” in this video.
