Due to many requests to help people with certain parts of a song they are working on, I hope to list some of them below.
The free music/tabs here below are lessons on how to play these pieces. The emphasis is on instruction of how to finger
pick with various melodies. The pieces below are solely for your own individual study to help you become a better fingerpicker.
If any of these pieces seem too advanced then maybe you should start with the Right Hand Finger Picking Patterns I have put
together. These will help you develop better RH technique. Some of the below pieces I have demonstrated and commented on in
You Tube videos.
The tune directly below here is Mystery Train, followed by "With a little help from
my friends." Africa by Toto is also here for your education. I have arranged for students, to demonstrate how to apply
the "Chet Atkins" or "Travis" style of picking to a particular song. The melody is picked out on top, the bass alternating
below and some chord harmonizing in the middle to fill it in and create that big full sound that is pleasing to the ears.
Have
fun in your studies!
