Hi Everyone,

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

In 1975 Bob Dylan came out with a spectacular album, Blood On The Tracks. It included a bunch of great songs and in this lesson we look at Buckets Of Rain. It is an alternating bass fingerstyle song done in Open D Tuning, capoed to the second fret to put it in the key of E. Most of the picking and chord shapes are very basic but there are a few very tricky slides, hammer-ons, and pull-offs, mostly as far as coordinating them with hitting other notes at the same time.

Enjoy this level 5 lesson!

That is a very pleasant tune to listen to on its own. I've not been up on a lot of his stuff, but that song could stand alone without any singing.

Thanks Neil,
Scott

I like this song although don't want to encourage the Buckets of Rain !

A balance comes to mind !!

Thanks for the lesson.

Great Lesson Neil, Thanks! I thought I knew that one, but you have given me some nice variations to work on. Beaker.

Hope we see more of the rest of the songs from this great album.
