Learn Columbus Stockade Blues on guitar. This one is uses some riffs and melodic motifs that were modeled after Doc Watson's playing and singing for the A section. The B section is uses arpeggios and a syncopated rhythm to get a really cool sound that's reminiscent of the rhythmic feel that's heard in the B section of Beaumont Rag.


Pay attention to the fingerings and the pick direction markings in the tablature. The ">" symbol is an accent sign. It means you should play that note slightly louder than others. Accents are a great way to add some life and excitement to anything you play.


The licks give you some great new musical vocabulary to learn. There are chromatic, minor, and harmonic minor scale runs you can incorporate to this song. You'll notice the same lick can be used for multiple measures in this song or in others: An A minor lick sounds good with an A minor chord, and an E lick sounds good with an E chord. =
