Freight train is a great song to getting started with playing fingerstyle guitar. This lesson features 4 versions of this song and with each version there will be some things added.
This is the first version (easy) and it starts from the really beginning. It features some fundemantal basics like alternate bass, independent fingers etc. and It is based on 4 easy chords in C. It's split up in 8 parts and I've tried to explain it step by step and in a slowed down way.

Grade : Beginner

Tablature can be found on : www.myspace.com/heronymusic
For the tabledit tablature of all versions just leave me an email.

This song is written by Elizabeth Cotten.
Hope you'll enjoy!!

Jan 4/11: I know you said to pinch the 5th and 1st string when starting, but do you continue to do that when you next hit the 5th string and so on. It seems to work, but I'm not sure that is what you are doing. In any case, I am, after 40 years, finally able to get the rhythm and melody working together -- thanks to you. It's slow going but I know I'll get there. I could always Travis pick but not with base and melody. This is a great help. Thank you so much!!!!

@TheBarry33 Hi Barry, The 5th is alternated with the 4th (the bass part) and the 1st is sometime schanging to the second (Which are the melody strings) I hope this helps. Great to hear from you, thanks! Jeroen

Geniaal Jeroen, hartelijk bedankt! Speel al jaren (vooral electrisch sologitaar, met distortion en plectrum) maar de acoustische blues/country/bluegrass fingerstyle wil ik nu erg graag onder de knie gaan krijgen en daar kan ik jouw hulp in deze serie video's volgens mij enorm goed bij gebruiken:) Het fijne is dat je helemaal bij 0 begint en opbouwt tot 10 (respect daarvoor, dat doet niet iedereen hier op youtube, waardoor ik flink moet zoeken) heb al veel zin om met alles aan de slag te gaan!
