You've Got a Friend (Fingerstyle Guitar Solo)  Sample  Lesson Sample Download

This Intermediate level solo is based upon the 1970's hit made famous by Carole King and James Taylor. This arrangement includes traditional fingerstyle solo playing as well as harmonics and slapping. It also starts out in a simpler fashion and then adds complexity so you can start on it if you are only at a late beginner level. 

This lesson is taught completely "By Ear" using no print, tab or video. When you learn "By Ear" you memorize the song as you go while at the same time developing you ability to pick out other songs "By Ear."

The lesson starts with a complete demonstration of the arrangement that you can use to listen to and practice along with. After that the song is taught in two to four measure sections without the use of print or video. Every string, fret and finger are described as well as any performance techniques. Each track of the lesson teaches a two to four measure section of the song so it is easy to navigate through the recording and pick up where you left off.

This solo is suitable for most late beginner to intermediate level guitarists.
