Can the Circle Be Unbroken - Heartwood Guitar Instruction
Can the Circle Be Unbroken?
Carter Family
Tune down ½ step.
Play this using bass/strum technique with alternating bass and walking bass lines. Wherever you see (3 ½) next to a chord, it means play three measures of 4/4, then one measure of 2/4. Who would of thought that this old country tune would have tricky time signature changes?!
Strum: B D U B D U
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +
