The latest from Jo Bywater Guitar Tuition
Song Lessons – STICK SEASON by Noah Kahan (as the record)
Stick Season by Noah Kahan has a great uptempo feel. We all need some bouncy acoustic songs in our repertoire.
This song is made up of 4 chords the whole tune. The variety is created by the way these chords are played.
We start off with a picking pattern, followed by the strumming pattern.
Song Lesson – JOLENE by Dolly Parton (Acoustic chord strumming)
In this acoustic guitar strumming tutorial we learn Dolly Partons iconic song JOLENE.
This is a STRUMMING guitar lesson so we are focussing on two different rhythms that will represent this song best as an acoustic guitar arrangement that you can sing along to.
The Capo is on fret 4 and we only have 3 open chords to contend with in Am C & G. If you don’t have capo you can practise just using the chords in the open position.
