House of the Rising Sun Guitar Lesson

House of the Rising Sun fingerpick lesson by Teague Purtell. Free material to go with video: http://www.musiclearning.com/guitar/fingerpicking/house.html

Mistake: part of the progression is missing in this video. The whole progression is this:

Am C D F
Am C E E
Am C D F
Am E Am C
D F Am E
Am E

It ends up being a 22 bar progression. All of the E's are really E7. I typed it like that so it would line up better and hopefully be easier to see the progression.

The Animals version has an 8 bar intro:

Am C D F
Am E Am E

The Animals recording ends with the last chord of the 22 bar progression being a Dm instead of E and then going to Am. It fades while going back and forth from Dm to Am (1 measure each)

I will probably redo the video so there isn't any confusion.

If you have an electric guitar and a PS3 or X360 get Rocksmith, this song is playable there.

At about 3:25 you mention the E7, but as far as i can see you press the A-string, second thread. And then you say to go from the first to the third string in the picking pattern.

So why push the middle finger on the A when you don't use the A-string?

or am i missing something?
