About This Lesson
Today I’ll answer a member question, sharing 8 fun songs I recommend playing with a fellow guitarist. For each of these examples, I share a portion of my lesson (teaching each song) where I demonstrate multiple guitar parts. This can be melodic lead riffs, different chords played via capo placement, or even improvisation within a single scale shape.
