Home Sweet Home
 
In Part 2 of the lesson on crosspicking, you'll learn the first part of Scott's arrangement of "Home Sweet Home," which mostly uses the traditional 3-3-2 roll. Since crosspicking is usually used to play song melodies, it's a good idea to learn the melody of a song before tackling a crosspicking arrangement, so Scott starts by making sure you know the melody to "Home Sweet Home" and then takes the arrangement apart phrase by phrase (or roll by roll).

Benny’s Bugle, Part 2: Charlie Christian Solo
 
Charlie Christian takes the first solo on the recording of “Benny’s Bugle” and it’s a classic, one of those solos learned by most jazz and swing guitarists. He takes two choruses of the blues, the first is a little more riff-based (he never really outlines the Eb or F chords) while the second builds in intensity with some nice Bb7b9, Eb13, and F13 arpeggios. Scott walks you through both solos in this video, giving you advice on fingering and pointing out Charlie’s across-the-bar-line phrasing and how his lines correspond to the underlying blues progression.
