Another week, another Waxahatchee song! Americana, power pop, indelible lyrical images, what’s not to like? In this Zoom guitar lesson we were learning the song from scratch by request, and wanted to see if we could get the lead guitar into our strumming acoustic part. Turns out, you can : )

We were looking at “Three Sisters,” by Waxahatchee, in a Zoom Guitar Lesson tonight, and the student and I were just thinking about what to do for the instrumental parts, in between the singing parts. If you’re playing a solo acoustic version of a song like this, one option is to play the chords of the song using higher voicings. If you learn a few new locations for the G, D, C, and Am in the song, you can actually wander around up high and play a solo, just using the chords of the song! This is one of my favorite ways to get creative with a familiar song : )
