A friend of mine at a jam asked me to teach her how to play an introduction to "I'll Fly Away". In this video I break down how to build an introduction from a simple melody by adding a kickoff, extra notes, open strings/drones, etc. Also discussed are things like pick direction and fiddle feel. Happy picking and let me know what you would like me to do a video on next!
