  • The "Yellow Rose of Texas" lesson covers a traditional American folk song. The song has been recorded by many artist including Elvis Presley and Willie Nelson. In this arrangement we will focus on use double-stops to enhance the melodic content. The tone is twangy. I'm playing on the bridge pickup of my Tele and using a hybrid picking style.

    Key: C
    Chords: C, F, G
    Time Signature: 4/4
    BPM: 135

    Gear: Tele>Presonus>Ableton>Waves GTR(compressor>overdrive>spring reverb>edgy amp)

    Scales: C Major Pentatonic

    While there are no specific scales discussed in the lesson a C Major pentatonic would be a good choice for soloing.
