Sally Gooden
 
The B part of “Sally Gooden” starts with a simple scale fragment, starting on the open G, that may be familiar from the Alternating Picking video. Scott walks you through the melody of the B part phrase by phrase, and gives you advice on keeping your fretting-hand fingers in position above the notes, as well as “planting” them: keeping them down on the fret until after you play the next note in the phrase.These are very important things to work on, as they give your playing a lot of fluidity and make your fingering more efficient.

You’ll learn two versions of the B part of “Little Liza Jane” in his video, one in the lower octave on the three lowest strings and one in the higher octave on the three highest strings. It sounds great on the guitar in either octave. Scott walks you through the lower-octave melody first, making sure you understand the syncopation and odd phrasing halfway through the B part. Then you’ll learn the melody in the upper octave.

Guitar Videos

 
video: Orville Johnson: “You’ll Work Down to Me Someday”
 

The song “You’ll Work Down to Me Someday” was recorded by Memphis bluesman John Henry Barbee in the late 1920s. Peghead Nation instructor Orville Johnson teaches you how to play the fingerstyle guitar part (including two different solos) in his Blues Guitar course, but in this video Orville just lets loose and sings the song in his own inimitable style. To learn more blues guitar techniques, including fingerstyle, lead guitar, and slide soloing, enroll in Orville’s Blues Guitar course on Peghead Nation today.
