The Drunken Sailor
We are going to combine chords and melodic playing at the same time in this more challenging version of this well known song.
(If you want t
he song version, it's over here...click here)Play the chords downwards with your thumb and pick the melody with your first and/ or second finger. using the 'crabby-claws' techniques.
Be aware that the chord takes the place of the first
, fourth and seventh note...or if you were to sing the song the chord would replace 'what...do...drun...'
| For some extra help take a listen to my friend Erin from Guns Village Primary School, West Bromwich. She plays this version of 'The Drunken Sailor' at quite a pace! Well done Erin! |
