Tomo's Twinkle lesson (http://Richweb.net/TomoFujita/Twinkle1.wmv)
I love this tune. It's so simple.
I used to teach my son how to play this tune on high E string, then I comp for him.
Then I stated to use this song for my students. It's great way to understand
your FUNdamental with triads.
All you need to know is E, A, B.... (chords).
1) Try to figure out chord melody on top 3 strings.
2) Try to figure out as big forms to play chord melody.
3) Try not to just memorize these patterns.
4) Try to think about relationship, degrees within tune.
5) Try to hear the song before you think about scales or chords.
More coming....
