If you are familiar with our teaching methods you know that we take songs sections one at a time and break them down into smaller sections, explaining every piece as we go along. Then we show you how to tie everything together.

Chord Library – in the chord library David takes you through all the chords you need to know to play this song section by section. He also discusses the proper way to finger pick the chords to get the proper feel of the song. So you get camera shots of the fret hand chord fingerings and the pick hand finger picking. David takes you in on a very tight shot on the neck so you can see all the chords up close and personal. So you get up close shots of what to play with both hands – this is critical since this song is finger picked. You will also see the chord names and fret numbers flash on the screen. This added text makes learning even more fun and easy. David also sprinkles in a little music theory to help you along in your guitar journey.
