Stranger Blues


Bass and Melody Breakdown

We're re-issuing one of Corey's most popular lessons with new sheet music, re-mastered video and updated loop points. From Corey: 

In this first lesson we will focus on the basics; alternating bass, the melody and the mechanics of pressing on the strings instead of picking them. I demonstrate how to learn to play melody and bass at the same time. We also examine the chords we need to play the song.
