How do you keep that thumb-bass independent so it doesn't get derailed when your fingers pick the melody? Fred Sokolow makes it easy for beginners or intermediate guitarists by breaking it all down and taking each song stepbystep. First you learn the melody, then add the bass, then add the syncopation that makes it all swing. Songs include Nine Pound Hammer, I Am A Pilgrim, Windy And Warm, Whispering and Mack The Knife.
