Pony Blues


Brushing, Rhythm & Slide

In this lesson we discuss the different right hand techniques, such as brushes and snapping the string, that we need to master to play this song. We also talk about the importance of the bass and the placement of the bass in the rhythm of the song. Please pay close attention to your rhythm and tempo and listen to other versions to get a good idea of how YOU want to approach the song. I look forward to hearing from you all!
