learn the material enough to be able to practice it, consolidate on songs whilst you're learning the next lessons. Most people do the course lessons a couple of stages ahead of the the songs from the BSB i.e. Typically this is more complicated strumming, intros etc. The fact that all these years later, essentially 2,000 miles we roamed to now live across the bay from where Otis Redding wrote. When I first heard(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay, I was a child listening to it on Friday night oldies radio when me and my best friends were supposed to be sleeping. In that he covers all the songs AND add's little bit of additional things that you can come back to (perhaps later in the course) to improve. Sit in the mornin’ sun when you hear this album. He doesn't say anything about singing and if you look on the forums here you'll see that many struggle with it initially so if you're managing to do both (even with simple strumming) you're doing well.Ī real good companion to the online beginners course is the beginners song book (I'd go vol one first). Justins general view (which he explains in his earlier lessons) is that you'll just progress through most of the course with downstrums (that said I think he expect most people to progress beyond this). May be an idea to revise a few of those earlier lessons on Justins course if you haven't looked yet. PS: Justin, please, I would like to ask if it is possible that in the future you will publish a book or more videos about Jimi Hendrix's blues and rock guitar technics? I am asking myself if the persons who composed these songs used a specific method to choose various keys or used more their ears? I am thinking that may be the chords D, Am and Em used in the key of G at the beginning of the choruses have been used to name the other keys of the songs, may be a trick, but I don't know. I was also watching the previous song at page 74 (Killing Me Softly With His Song) and various keys are used too: in the choruses, it's the key of G (Em, Am, D, G) following by the key of D ( Em, A, D) following by the key of Am (C, G, Fmaj7, E) in the verses, the key of Em (Am, D, G, C, D, Em, B7). Indeed, I just watched again the song and it seems that may be the verses are in the key of G (G, B7, C, A) the choruses in the key of C (G, E) following by the key of D (G, A) the bridge in the key of G (G, D, C) ending with the key of C (F, D) the coda in the key of C (G, E).
