Nine Pound Hammer
(Advanced level)
Merle Travis was one of the first artists that knocked me off my feet with his dynamic style of fingerpicking. 'Nine Pound Hammer' is one of my favorite songs to perform and after quite a few requests I've finally transcribed this song from the concert footage that you'll see in the video below.
You'll learn this entire song, from start to finish AND with all of the solos that are in this performance!!!
Not to worry - I'll show you each move at a slow, steady, step-by-step pace that will ensure you'll have a complete understanding every technique I'm using.
Watch the video, and you'll see all kinds of exciting, fun ideas such as the subtle but effective use of hammers, pulls and slides within each chord. You'll learn how to use chord inversions, right hand banjo rolls, single line runs, jazzy chords, boogie woogie bass lines, diminished chord bridges, and red hot chord pull offs (in that final solo) that will take your playing to a whole new level!!
Here's the full song in concert. At the end you'll get an idea of how I break it all down for you.
