What makes the part famous

The techniques to work on to play it, each in one sentence.

  • Acoustic

    Played on an acoustic guitar: a crisp attack and ringing strings.

  • Open tuning

    The strings tuned away from standard, often to a chord: played open, they already ring together.

Automatic analysis: it can get a chord wrong, and your ear has the last word.

Analyze your own recording

Record yourself playing it, or upload a version you have the right to use: the studio isolates the guitar and finds the chords, tempo, strumming and fingerings, with a fretboard video and a PDF.
