Let’s pick! The point of the Pickalong lessons is not to teach you a tabbed solo or backup, but to get you actually playing along by using your eyes and ears! Don’t forget that you can slow down the video!
Yay!!! Been waiting for this one.
Yay!!!
So very nice these lessons… Making up my mind to devote some time studying these!
I love these!!! Thanks
Undoubtedly it is a fantastic exercise to develop your ear and improvisation. I still need to study a lot. But with a great string master like you Ben, everything is easier. I’m missing because I don’t have internet at home. Thank you very much from the heart. It is an honor and a great pride to study with you.
How to slow down videos? Help
Hi Terry If you look at the bottom right hand corner of the video screen you’ll see a little cog wheel click on that and adjust as required

Is there tab available for the basic tune "Nine Pound Hammer’? I don’t see it anywhere. Thanks!
Great question. It’s not labeled as basic, but the build-a-break has a more basic + strum solo as part of the lesson:

This is incredibly helpful. Not sure if you have tried this but, doing a full band with no breaks would be awesome to just continue trying out different licks! I like seeing how you do your break and what I have been doing is rewinding the “No guitar” recording so I can practice a bunch. Let me know what you think of this suggestion!
Yeah, great idea! Have you tried out Strum Machine? https://strummachine.com/
I actually don’t have it, but need to get it. I recommend it to do exactly what you’re talking about–it would be customizable for you for tempo, etc.
