Hi Everyone,

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

Here is another ‘Progressive’ Lesson. We are building a fingerpicking arrangement of the old hymn In Christ There Is No East Or West, hopefully coming up with something similar to what John Fahey did on his first album, Blind Joe Death. We start with just the melody and chord progression, and the mission is to put them together in a simple, block chord style. The first two segments just define the Project and then go over the chart. By the time we are done we will take a specific look at most of the way Fahey played it over the years. This includes the simple, block chord version as well as the faster ragtime section that follows.

Enjoy this level 5 lesson project!

I think that was Let It Be that first block you played Neil.

I've watched the first video a couple of times, looked at the pdf with guitar in hand, listened to the song and don't quite understand
what I'm meant to do !
:S

Looking at the pdf for example shows measure 2 G and F above D's in the tab ... so am I meant to play a G and F chord and pick a D for the melody.... is that second D a typo?

Measure 5 shows C and the tab an open E, so I sound the C chord sounding the E predominantly?

:S :S :S

:blush:

Edit
I thought I understood the first video but.... nope.
I don't really want to jump to the second video until I've given this a decent attempt.
Can you drop a hint to get me started.

Edit Edit
Can I go for a sleep now ?, still puzzled !
Sorry for being a plonker.
:S :S
:blush:
demot, first try strumming the chords that Neil has on the chart. Then as you finger the chords, slowly try to play the melody with one of your available fingers. Eventually, you'll add an alternating bass with your thumb. Scott
