Description: In this first lesson, we will begin by training the right picking hand. Practicing an alternating bass picking pattern while fingering notes on the treble strings, we will learn Henry Worrall's Spanish Fandango. A classic turn of the century parlor guitar piece that gained such popularity that Open G tuning is commonly referred to as Spanish tuning. Taught by Keni Lee Burgess

KeniLeeBurgess ::: Favorites Thank you. It was also very popular during the 1960 Blues revival here in the states. Pattern picking was a fun and easy way to learn the guitar. 07-09-06 05:57:48 __________________________________________________
bentonio07 ::: Favorites Yeah, acttually I find this easier, too. That's how I started. I tried it with different fingering: four finger picking, so my thumb always plays the fifth string. "Rolls pretty smoothly", only problem: the bass isn't as powerful that way, also because I use no picks but just my fingertips, can't get used to them 07-09-07 15:05:25 __________________________________________________
KeniLeeBurgess ::: Favorites Three finger picking (Thumb, index, middle) is the standard in the banjo/guitar/bluegrass/country roots school of music. This keeps it simple and strong. As for fingerpicks, the tone is worth all the effort. But I agree, it is a pain in the ass to get comfortable with them. 07-09-07 15:20:03 __________________________________________________

KeniLeeBurgess ::: Favorites Thank you. My dog, Onyx has his own video now. Please check it out. Actually, there was a school of classical guitar in Russia that was based on Open G that lasted a 100 years. You can play many different styles in Open G. My CD video is on Ebay. It is Series 1 Open D. On my next auction, I'll make it available to Argentina. Thanks again. 07-09-06 05:55:29 __________________________________________________

KeniLeeBurgess ::: Favorites Thank you for your kind words. I watched the video, but this isn't blues. Also, it contains no slide guitar. But, it is Russian. 07-09-07 15:27:43 __________________________________________________
