Jackson C Frank – Blues Run The Game
Learn how to play Jackson C Frank – Blues Run The Game note-for-note on guitar.
Difficulty level: Intermediate leaning towards easy.
Bar Chords: No
Thumb-over Chords: No
Playing Style: Fingerpicked (Travis picked)
Tuning: Standard
The file contains two lesson videos. The first is a version that teaches a more standardized picking pattern than the one Jackson actually plays. This was necessary because he picks an extremely irregular pattern and it isn’t necessary in order to play this song effectively and authentically, to pick every note the way he does . So the recommendation is to learn the song from this standardized version.
However, for those folks who simply must play it just like Jackson, a second (much longer) lesson video is included that breaks the song down bar-by-bar. Most of you won’t want or need that one, but it’s included for those who do.
The complete file contains 2 lesson videos, a performance play thru video, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 456 Mb containing all the lesson content.
