Red Haired Boy - Bluegrass Flatpicking Guitar Lesson

Подробнее о видео

In this lesson, I'll teach you my favorite way to play “Red Haired Boy” on guitar. This song is one of the most common guitar flatpicking fiddle tunes played at bluegrass jams. NOTE: We’re going to play “Red Haired Boy” using key of G chords and scales, but we’ll capo the 2nd fret so technically this is in the key of A.

After you learn the flatpicking break, practice along with the “Red Haired Boy” backing track that comes with this guitar lesson.
