Before we start working on the tune, let’s prepare by playing two technical exercises. These use a rhythm that’s the reverse of what you’ll soon be strumming!

In this step, we practise two more technical exercises. These now use the exact rhythm found in the song you’re about to learn!
Let’s go through one final technical concept. This time, we combine that tricky 16th-note rhythm with steady 8th notes — the exact feel of Blowin’ In The Wind!
Let’s learn how to play Blowin’ In The Wind in three distinct sections using TAB, loops, and a video lesson. Think in the key of C, and place your capo on fret 2!
In this step, we put everything together and play the full song in the key of C, using a capo on fret 2!
Let’s play this tune just like Bob Dylan. We divide the song into three sections and use TAB, loops, and a video lesson to work through each part. The capo goes on fret...
In this step, we put it all together and play the complete song in the key of G using a capo on fret 7!
In this final step, we remove the capo and learn a 2nd guitar part in the key of D. You can play this with me and the singer, just like a folk trio!
