 Difficulty 4 of 10 A Major Fingernail StrummingWhen I started to write this lesson I found that I didn't like the sound of the pick attack. So... I recorded the lesson without the pick. My right index finger does the work: with the fingernail I play the downstrokes and with the fingertip I play the upstrokes.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Greensleeves LessonBy Dejan Farkas This time we go back to the Renaissance period in the 16th century, and this romanesca (song form composed of four chords with a simple, repeating bass) is the most popular one from that period. It is widely believed, but unproven, that it was composed by King Henry VIII for his lover and queen consort Anne Boleyn.  Difficulty 4 of 10 C Minor Tango LessonIt's my first time here, today I'm sharing this little piece of mine. It's a really short one and it could make a nice introduction for some tango in C minor.  Difficulty 3 of 10 D Dorian Acoustic SoloIt's based on the D dorian scale and it has an Irish background sound, but I think the lead itself has more of an ethnic sound. Hope you will like it! I think it's a lot more simple than many electric solos out there, but you need to devlope a different touch on this one so it will sound good.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Open G Tuning Lesson - DGDGBDAn open tuning is where the strings are intentionally tuned to achieve a chord with all the open strings played together. The open G tuning is also used with the bottleneck because it's easy to play these major chords with the slide technique.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Acoustic BluesA standard blues lick on the acoustic guitar. The beat is 4\4 and the chords are based on E7 A7 B7. It's not a difficult one and it's fun. I think this is a good start if you are new to blues music. If you want to improvise on it, the E pentatonic with the blue note( a# ) will do just fine.  Difficulty 3 of 10 Bossa Nova LessonThis Brazillian music is a fusion of cool jazz elements with various rhythms, particularly the samba. I'm using a lot of maj7 & 7 chords such as Gmaj7 Cmaj7 B7 D7, and also dim chords.  Difficulty 6 of 10 Acoustic Country BluesThis acoustic lesson is in the country/blues style without the use of a pick. To do it right you need to block the rest of the strings. It's an excellent exercise that gives single line melodies a powerful sound.  Difficulty 5 of 10 Open Strings StrummingJerry shows you some of his favortie chords voicings for acoustic guitar. A fat and wide sound is achieved by using drop D and lots of open strings. Hop inside!  Difficulty 4 of 10 Walking Bass LessonJerry explains how to play a chord progression with fingerstyle technique, with a set of chords common in jazz music. Play lower notes with your right thumb and you can obtain a kind of "walking bass" effect.
