Little Rock Getaway, Part 1
“Little Rock Getaway” is a ragtime-sounding tune written by swing era pianist Joe Sullivan and later adapted to the guitar by Chet Atkins and Les Paul. It’s a fun tune with an interesting chord progression, and it makes for a good technical workout for both hands. The first four bars feature cascading arpeggios through a series of chords, and in addition to tricky crosspicking, it requires accurate and efficient use of your fretting hand. Scott plays the A part and then walks you through it, measure by measure. He also talks about keeping your fingers in a single position to play all the arpeggios, and how to “plant” your fingers so that you keep a finger down as you play the next note in the arpeggio. You’ll learn the A part of “Little Rock Getaway” in this video.
