In this video, we'll visit the final four bars in our Piedmont Picking Tutorial. If you haven't checked out the first several videos in this series, you should give those a spin first:What trips most new finger pickers up is trying to learn how to play the melody of a song while holding down the bass.
This isn't easy and takes practice. But the guiding principal of Blues Guitar Institute comes in handy here: Start Small. Keep at It.
In this series on Piedmont picking, we build a ragtime based tune from the ground up. We laid the foundation of a straight forward alternating bass line to be played with the thumb. Then we worked on the melody through the first 8 bars and added a cool stop time rhythm break.
