Bryan expands upon a fundamental version of Wildwood Flower with some hammer-ons and pull-offs. Bryan also illustrates some examples of how to use some legato effects in solo pieces like this one. The performance of this tune is done at 75 beats per minute.
(guitar playing)…- And again we're at the end of the phrase now,…setting up for the chorus or the B section.…And that's a little way to involve some hammer ons…within a rhythm kind of phrasing.…Again, the idea of this keeping this momentum rolling.…Got that little bar there.…In the basic version we had a bar like this.…
And now we're adding again, this little more,…little more of this crosspicking challenge right there.…And that leads us into the chorus, the B section.…Real smooth crosspicking there.…We're going to sang out of the C position.…This third fret of the second string, the D note…on the first bar of the B.…I would encourage you to try.…
You can fret that, you know, and again keeping with…our four fret, four fingers over four fret concept.…This is a point it may be easier for you,…it certainly is for me to grab that D note with my pinky…because it, you know as my ring finger.…I want to keep things sort of positioned in this C.…So I'll use my pinky instead of bringing the ring finger…down because it's again this idea of keeping things smooth.…
