Hi Everyone,

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

After many years of wrestling with the best way to approach a lesson on Davey Graham’s classic acoustic masterpiece Angi, I finally found a path that I think will work.

In this lesson we start at the beginning, the way Davey (Davy at the time) recorded it on his 1961 EP with Alexis Korner, 3/4 A.D.

Most people play this with lots of variations and improvising but this lesson starts with the basic techniques needed to play the three sections Davey laid out, all of which are pretty basic. Some of the challenges include the pounding, muted bass, a la Big Bill Broonzy, and the syncopation in Section C, where it is very easy to lose track of the beats.

Enjoy this level 6 lesson!

This is a cool little song. May be just the thing to get me out of my stagnant phase and start learning a new song again. That is if I can get the thumb pick, palm muting, syncopation thing going.
Yeah, I'll get it.

I did notice no official real slow mo play thru's though.

Hi Willem, working with a thumb pick feels like playing left handed (no punt intended to lefties ). So it will be interesting. When I fingerpick, my thumb is more pointing toward the strings and with the thump pick it is more parallel and a bit away from the strings, it feels so weird

My girlfriend doesn't mind if Angi and Anjie are part of my life B)
