Migrating the Thumb, Part 1: “Shady Grove” in A
So far you’ve been playing the bum-ditty clawhammer pattern with your thumb only playing the sixth string, but it can play other strings as well. In this lesson, you’ll start learning how to “migrate” your thumb to other strings, first with a version of “Shady Grove” in the key of A, where your thumb will play the fifth string, A. Steve walks you through “Shady Grove” in A slowly, pointing out how he’s playing the “brush” gently, usually on just one string.
