VERA'S LESSON PAGE!

Hi Vera!  This is your lesson page.  I can upload videos and tabs for you here.  If you have any questions just email me at info@zaktrojano.com or text me!  I hope you're doing well and hanging in there.  Have fun playing guitar:)

lesson 1

 Finishing up "Fancy".  You've got the chart, but I figured it was a good idea to make you a video of the tricky chords and to introduce a new scale!  Let me know if you have any trouble...  

Picture
E minor pentatonic scale has 5 notes.  E, G, A, B, D.   It's used a lot in rock n' roll, country, blues, etc.  The guitar lick that I like so much in "Fancy" comes from this scale.  Practice it slowly up and down, and then see if you can play the lick!

PATSY CLINE

 
Hi Vera!  I hope all is well.  This week I thought we'd check out some Pasty Cline.  She's one of my all time favorites and this song is one of her biggest hits.  It's in the key of C so you'll know most of the chords already.  At the end it goes to a key change - that means it changes to a different key to lift the song at bit.  We can skip that part for now and just play the usual chords throughout.  When you start seeing G# and C# in the chart, just fid those lyrics earlier somewhere and use the chords you used before.  Ill show you in the video.  Good luck and have fun!

TRISHA YEARWOOD AND GARTH BROOKS


Hi Vera!
​I hope all is going well and you guys are staying healthy.  Nice choice with this song - I haven't heard this one in awhile!!!  It's a pretty simple country tune, so you shouldn't have too much trouble.  The main thing is to get the chords smooth and to start SLOW!  I went over the strumming pattern in the video.  Let me know if you have any trouble, and have fun!
