My Grandfather's Clock - Solo Fingerpicking Beginning Lesson
Posted: Fri Jun 30, 2023 4:05 pm
Hey Folks,
For most of my teaching life I have used My Grandfather's Clock as one of the first solo fingerpicking pieces I have students learn. It is now in the TG Library for all to take a look at. We have had a slack key version up for years but this one takes a wider approach, starting with harmonizing the melody, then putting it together with the chords, and finally syncopating it to make it musical.
And here is John Fahey's version.
