After wrestling with a lesson on the solo version of this for a few years, I decided to start with an accompaniment version of White Bird by It's A Beautiful Day for those who would like to sing it. Maybe soon I will get to the solo version.

The first album by the San Francisco based band, It's A Beautiful Day, included the FM hit White Bird. The song featured David LaFlamme's vocals and multiple violin parts, along with Pattie Santos harmony vocals. Neil plays a solo guitar version, incorporating many different parts, which will be a lesson soon.

This lesson mostly focuses on playing the chords with a percussive approach, or just strumming them, to back up the vocals. There is also a segment on the intro, where the guitar combines a bass line with the opening pizzicato violin part.
