Reviewing the Basics and Putting it into a Song

This lesson series will guide you through many things. We'll review the Bum-Ditty rhythm pattern, and learn to play one string at a time. Then we'll apply the Bum-Ditty rhythm while playing individual strings. After that you'll be introduced to a partial G major scale and again apply the Bum-Ditty pattern to that. Lastly, we'll put it all together by learning a melody and applying the Bum-Ditty pattern and chords to that. We'll go a step at a time, and you're gonna do great! Jump on in y'all.
