Online Guitar Music Lessons with Ken Wheeler.

In this package, students will be playing all songs acoustically. You will be taught different guitar tunings and the chords which are specific to those tunings.

Ken Wheeler will be demonstrating how to finger pick with your right hand or your "Picking Hand" and teaches you common tunings such as a Drop D Tuning which is used in countless genres of songs.

Upon completion of this lesson pack you will be able to include 4 beautiful hymns to your collection of songs you are capable of playing.

Lesson 17 - Amazing Grace- Lead Melody

	The prospect of having to play acoustic songs may terrify you, however with a combination of Ken Wheeler's help and the information and expertise you already have, it should be relatively easy. Here, you will be playing in a Drop D tuning, which is a fairly regular tuning with a Six String Drop. A vast amount of songs are played in this tuning, but Ken Wheeler thinks they sound at their best when they are used in old hymn songs, which is what you will learn in this pack of lessons. You will also be learning your rhythm and lead parts to play at the same time.



	Skill Level: 2	Runtime: 7 mins

Lesson 18 - Softly and Tenderly- Lead Melody

	Learning the lead melody to this song, Ken Wheeler will introduce a extra chord to the chords you were using in the previous lesson, an E7. You will be expected by this stage, whether you have started your lessons with Music Texas Style from Lesson pack 1, or have begun your musical journey at this level, to be able to control your hands and fingers correctly, hold chords proficiently, pick individual strings and not dampen them when playing.

Lesson 19 - Great Dream From Heaven - Lead Melody

	The song that features in this lesson dates back approx 100 years, and is one of Ken Wheeler's favorite acoustic songs to play and certainly a great joy of his to teach. It requires a lot of co-ordination between your hands, and you will certainly need to reference your additional materials and tablature received with your lessons. Some chords are capable of being held down and then the strings need only be picked with the right hand as Ken Wheeler will teach you in this lesson.



	Skill Level: 2	Runtime: 2 mins

Lesson 20 - What a Friend we Have in Jesus

	Ken Wheeler will bring in another chord not previously used before to play the song in this tutorial.
