>>New Target and Pay Per Lesson - Affair On 8th Avenue - Gordon Lightfoot

Hi everyone,


Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live, Affair On 8th Avenue by Gordon Lightfoot.


From Gordon Lightfoot’s 1968 album Back Here On Earth, Affair On 8th Avenue is a great example of what
you can do with a simple arpeggio accompaniment over some very basic chords, especially when you throw
in a haunting melody and compelling lyrics.


The progression is pretty straightforward, with really just one section, a verse, but the intro really sets the
stage for this song. It was originally done with two guitars but this lesson looks at a couple ways of playing
a solo version of the intro.


There are also quite a few varied arpeggio patterns that can be used and the student is encouraged to play
it a little differently every time.


Enjoy this level 4 lesson!
