Demo Videos for technique, tools and generally, having fun playing guitar. Here's a classic that's not too hard to play. My favorite part is b3rd over the E chord- in first-position E that's the G on the 3rd fret of the 1 string, and you can hear in on the lyric "hear" in the line "did you HEAR about the midnight rambler". To play this tune you just need an E (with the G on top), an A and a D, all in the first position. Playing the tune like this is a pretty good and fairly simple way to use a fingerstyle technique so that the melody pops out on top of the rhythm. Enjoy!
