Easy Classical Guitar Etude

By Klaus Crow Leave a Comment

Today I have a nice short, mid-easy classical guitar etude for you with some beautiful sounding chords and a Klaus twist. I studied classical guitar from a private teacher for a couple of years and I learned a lot from that. These days I focus more on blues, pop and rock guitar, but I always have a special place in my heart for classical guitar.

Enjoy the lesson!

For the plucking / picking hand use your thumb for the Low E, A and D string. Use your index finger for the G-string, your middle finger for the B-string and your ring finger for the high e-string.

Hi Folks, today we have some Blues From the Woods. A while ago I was on holiday with my family and we went the to Veluwe National Park. It’s the largest forest area in The Netherlands. While I was enjoying my coffee, relaxing on the couch and fiddling on my guitar I came up with a 12 bar blues, hence the name Veluwe Couch Blues.

How to Play House of The Rising Sun by The Animals – Fingerpicking Pattern

By Klaus Crow 14 Comments

Today I’m going to show you a simplified fingerstyle version of The House of the rising sun by the Animals. This is ideal for beginner guitar players.

You will recognize the song instantly and most people probably wouldn’t notice the difference. In fact there are many guitar players who just play it this way, and aren’t even aware they are playing the simplified version.

It’s an easy and widely used fingerpicking pattern that you will also come across in many other popular songs. I’d say a win-win situation.

Tip: Try to memorize chord progression of the song in the video. That way you will likely to pick up your guitar several times throughout the day to practice the tune and make progress much faster.

The song and the fingerpicking pattern is a classic, it’s fun to play and should definitely be part of your repertoire. A perfect beginner fingerpicking song.

Enjoy!
