This lesson series will guide you through many things. We'll review the Bum-Ditty rhythm pattern, and learn to play one string at a time.

Lastly, we'll put it all together by learning a melody and applying the Bum-Ditty pattern and chords to that. We'll go a step at a time, and you're gonna do great! Jump on in y'all.
