Playthroughs


Stand By Me - Playthrough

Know the chord shapes and RH strumming pattern BEFORE jumping in

Be able to transition from chord to chord

If RH issues persist, use a simple RH pattern:

Down-Down-Down-Down Up


My Girl - Playthrough

BE AWARE of the RH rhythm changes!

RH rhythm for the VERSE is different from the CHORUS

Be comfortable transitioning from section to section

Use the most comfortable fingering for YOU!

HOWEVER! Push yourself!

BE AWARE of the STRUCTURE!

Intro (Riff), Verse, Chorus (Repeat), Verse, Chorus (End)

The REPEAT sign at the end indicates to return to the VERSE not the INTRO!

If issues persist, work on each section separately


TNT - Playthrough

DETERMINE your LEVEL!

BE AWARE of the amount of repeats in each section!

Focus on rhythmic accuracy!

On beat 2, you can MUTE/CUT the sound to make the riff POP


House of the Rising Sun - Playthrough (Partial)

Focus on chord transitions and accurate rhythm!

If it gets away, keep pushing!

HOWEVER! Drill said rhythm over shorter chord combos

Note the STRUCTURE of the progression!

Where it ends and repeats is imperative

Work slowly!
