01
Late Winter / Early Spring
John Denver
I was pleasantly surprised by how approachable Late Winter / Early Spring is to play, just a handful of chords, but don't let that fool you. The melody is absolutely beautiful.
Taylor 724ce Grand Auditorium Koa
02
Ahead by a Century
The Tragically Hip
Deceptively simple. The picking pattern sits right on the edge of what my right hand does naturally, which means I keep almost getting it and then losing it. The Gord Downie vocal timing throws me off more than the guitar does.
Taylor 314ce-N
03
Landslide
Fleetwood Mac
Stuck on the bridge. My fingerpicking hand wants to drop the pattern every time the chord changes, so I've been slowing it down to about half tempo and just drilling the transition. It's getting there. Slowly.
Taylor 314ce-N
