Hi Everyone,

Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live ..

*Sweet Betsy From Pike *is a song about the quest for gold that took hold over America in the mid-1800s. The song is in 3/4 time and strummed fairly quickly (partly due to a multitude of verses!), and can be played simply using the three primary chords in any key. The lesson also brings in some ideas on substituting a couple of the minor chords in the key. Enjoy this level 3 lesson.

nice lesson on a simple song, but colored up with the chord substitutions: leads to the question why the secondary dominant is B7, not Bm7, since 2 is minor in the scale?
