Learn an example of the rhythm guitar style of Scotty Moore using the classic driving rhythm part and solo from ‘My Baby Left Me’.
“When I heard Heartbreak Hotel, I knew what I wanted to do in life. It was as plain as day. All I wanted to do in the world was to be able to play and sound like that. Everyone else wanted to be Elvis, I wanted to be Scotty.”
… Keith Richards
We’ll be learning an example of the rhythm guitar style of Scotty Moore using the classic driving rhythm part and solo from ‘My Baby Left Me’.
In the mix are: use of the slap back effect, grace note slides, triple stops, open strings and syncopated picking on a I IV V chord progression.
This part can be played either fingerstyle with, or without, a thumb-pick or hybrid picked using plectrum and fingers.
High Beginner to Intermediate acoustic or electric guitar.
You should know basic barre chords and have some fingerpicking under your belt.
The session is 60 minutes long; don’t expect to master everything during the session. The tutor will go through all the key parts, demonstrating them and discussing the associated techniques and know-how.
The real work is done by you afterwards. Armed with the materials (PDFs, backing tracks and video recording), you’ll have all the tools to work on things at your own pace.
When you book you’ll have two options:
1. You want to join the live Zoom session.
You’ll receive the joining instructions on the day. Being live, you’ll be able to put your own questions directly to the tutor during the session. Choose option 1, Live lesson and materials.
2. Maybe you’d like to attend but can’t make it on this occasion?
You can buy the materials and receive them after the session (i.e. lesson PDF(s) and access to a Zoom recording of the live session). Choose option 2, Materials only.
