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.

In My Life

The Beatles’ “In My Life” makes a great fingerstyle guitar tune. Stevie plays through his arrangement, in the key of D, and then walks you through it, measure by measure. He also shows you some new ways to finger some of the chords to let the melody notes sustain into each other and allow you to move to the next chord more efficiently.
