North Carolina: Overview

We are going to focus on a B flat blues here with a funky little beat. The aspect that I want to relate to here is the use of sixths which is the tonic note of a chord and adding the sixth above it. You will have two notes – it’s called a double stop, but instead of just thirds these are sixths. I will show you how to move them around the guitar.
