Hello Guitar Players of The World!
It’s time to get serious about this Social Music that we’ve been making! In this lesson we’ll dig in to He’ll Have To Go which was a country pop hit for Jim Reeves in 1960 and something I first heard on Ry Cooder’s Chicken Skin Music LP. We’ll learn it in the key of G and spend most of our time focusing on some possible double stops ( I’ve also heard these riffs referred to as harmonized scales, but I think double stops is a little more inviting). The goal in this lesson is to not only learn an amazing and moving song but to begin to understand how to find and use the double stops riffs for the G, C, and D chords. If you’re anything like me, once you grab on to these you won’t want to let go! I really enjoy all of the communication so please don’t be shy, let me know how you like these lessons and how you’re doing with these tunes…
