While My Guitar Gently Weeps

The Beatles’ classic “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” makes a great fingerstyle guitar piece. In this lesson, Stevie shows you how to get an alternating bass going (Travis style) and then find the melody on the treble strings. Learn the infectious signature melody and bass line that start the verse in Part 1.

Here Comes the Sun, Part 2: The Chorus

Got the verse to “Here Comes the Sun” down? Great. It’s time for the chorus, with its signature “three feel” and repetitive three-note riff with moving bass. Stevie shows you how to get the melody of the three-note pattern down before adding bass notes, and also gives you an exercise that will help you get used to change from the strict alternating bass rhythm to the syncopated three-note rhythm.
