I have been working with a student recently on Stones by Neil Diamond. It features a somewhat unusual arpeggio pattern that is a bit challenging. I thought many of you might be interested in tackling it so we now have a complete lesson on it.

Stones is a beautiful ballad from Neil Diamond's album of the same name. It uses only a few easy chords in the key of C but is done with a complex arpeggio fingerpicking pattern. The lesson approaches this in increments, building up to playing it as done on the original recording, with elements of live versions added in.
