PEARLA'S LESSON PAGE

LESSON 1

Hi P!  Here is your lesson page.  In the video I go over the G, C, and D chords and the Pick-Strum groove we were working on.  Keep practicing! z

lesson 2

P-  Here is a video about how to tackle that elusive C chord!  These ideas can be used for just about any chord you're going to play.  Remember to move slowly!  Slow and right far beats out fast and wrong:). You're sounding great already, z

lesson 3

P-  In this video I talk about how to use the capo, keeping a light touch on the fingerboard, and how to practice making chords by starting with different fingers.  You're doing great, z

lesson 4

P- in this vid I go over the verse to "Walkin' After Midnight" and talk about the elusive F chord and making Barr chords from the low E string.  Lots of shit in there so don't hesitate to ask questions! z

lesson 5

P- in this video I go over how to construct Bar Chords.  There are two main shapes.  One shape has the bass note on the low E string (6th string), and one shape has the bass note on the A string (5th String).  Practice, practice, practice!  Remember not to squeeze too hard when you play them. z

lesson 6

Bar Chord quiz!  Remember:  1.Find the bass note on the low e or a strings.  2.Build the correct shape.  3.Don't fuck it up!

lesson 7

P-  Here is the forward roll.  Practice it slowly and impress the hell out of Crystal. z

lesson 8

Pearla-  Here is the beginning to "Freight Train."  Remember to check out Elizabeth Cotton playing upside down!  You were on the right track with this already so this'll be a piece of cake! z

lesson 9

P- Here's a video about transitioning from chord to chord in "Buy Dirt."  Have fun with finger choreography! z

lesson 10

P-  Here's a vid of me going over "Margaritaville."  You can play this whole thing using the Pick-strum, but I get a little fancier in the vid.  Keep it simple!

lesson 11

P-  Here's a video of the scale pattern we were working on and the first bit of "Landslide."  Congrats on the new guitar! z

LESSON 12

P- Here is a video with a 30 minute guitar work out for you to try.  Let me know how it goes!
