    Purposefully challenging us to watch and figure it out without the step by step! I think I can … but I miss the walk through.

    Once again Brian, a lovely smooth melody and, by the look of it – not too difficult for the average “improver ” Thanks once again Tony

    I can’t access part 2 ! If I turn off veteos, I have to see to learn!
    Please explain to me what is the best way to learn
    If I can’t use part 2. It would be so much easier. I can’t use this Great program without part 2.
    Thanks!!

    Brian – I really like the gypsy and country blues acoustic lessons that you’ve been bringing to the MicroLessons! ML78 and 80 were both a lot fun! Love the melodies and the interesting changes in tempo and approach throughout this song (as well as 78, 80 and ML084). – so much nuance and great takeaways. I really dig Doc Watson but I’ve never learned to play in his style. These latest batches of country blues songs are a great introduction to that genre. Thank you!

    Great tune! Although what was the scale you were referencing for the bars changing from E7 to A7?
