Home Sweet Home

In Part 2 of the lesson on crosspicking, you'll learn the first part of Scott's arrangement of "Home Sweet Home," which mostly uses the traditional 3-3-2 roll. Since crosspicking is usually used to play song melodies, it's a good idea to learn the melody of a song before tackling a crosspicking arrangement, so Scott starts by making sure you know the melody to "Home Sweet Home" and then takes the arrangement apart phrase by phrase (or roll by roll).

“Little Rock Getaway” Play-Along Track

Little Rock Getaway, Part 2

The second part of “Little Rock Getaway” functions as a bridge (the overall form of the tune is AABA), and is really just four bars repeated, with different endings. It also has some moving arpeggios, just not as many as the A part. Scott plays the B part through and then takes it apart. You’ll also learn an ending for the third A part in this video. Scott finishes by giving you some ideas about improvising or creating simple variations on the chord progression and then plays the whole tune through at a slow tempo.
