I’ve Been All Around This World
Lesson ID: A0179
In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn how to play the traditional song called “I’ve been All Around This World”. First we’ll work through the main chord progression to this song and we’ll practice singing the verses with the chords & lyrics. Next you’ll learn two flatpicking guitar instrumental breaks. The first instrumental break brings in a lot of this song’s traditional melody and the second instrumental break has some nice flatpicking licks in the style of Bryan Sutton. Tablature files are available below the lesson video.
Note: Instrumental Break Progression = Verse Progression + Two Extra Measures of C at the end

Blue Railroad Train
Lesson ID: A0178
In this guitar lesson, you’ll learn how to play the old classic “Blue Railroad Train” in the style of Tony Rice. We’ll cover three different instrumental breaks that are loaded with some really nice country & bluegrass licks on acoustic guitar. The first two instrumental breaks are a little more advanced for the intermediate guitar players, and the third instrumental break is an easier version for the less experienced guitar players. The easier break will have some really nice Tony Rice style guitar licks as well and it will be a good challenge that’ll push your flatpicking to the next level. Later in the lesson, we’ll also go over the rhythm guitar part and chord progressions for “Blue Railroad Train”.
