Description: Get my print-friendly PDF for this lesson @ playsongnotes.com/lessons/408 *********** In this lesson I want to show a handful of ways you can walk "down" the A-major scale while simultaneously strumming -- which creates a rich mixture of full chords atop a descending bass-line. This is quite the common trope in popular music (rock, folk, country, etc) -- and while it may sound fancy and complicated, there are actually some relatively approachable ways to tackle this. Let's look at a few!
