Easy Steps to Guitar Fingerpicking II & III - Happy Traum Page 2

harmony and theory back coverSo here is what you might be forced to do but aren't. Get your guitar, sit there with it, eyes glued watching screen fingers and being afraid to blink. But since we have a pamphlet and there are only 5 songs in it and they are TAB charted out for us wide spaced for those of us who wear glasses (Happy wears glasses too) and we can sit there much more relaxed and go at our own pace. Here in song one "Colorado Trial" Happy plays with bare fingers. By now he expects us to have the right hand picking down enough to copy him. The Carl Sandberg Song book contains the Colorado Trail song. I'll cut to the chase. If you did right and studied lesson one and got the picking thing right then you are ready for the rest of the set. You will be playing catch up otherwise or worse; reinforcing mistakes.
