The Fender Guitar Method - Aura Lee - Lesson 25

The next song I am learning is called Aura Lee.  Apparently it is some kind of civil war song about a maiden.  Even though I had never heard of the song before, the beat was familiar, once I started learning it and playing it a little.  It was a fun song to learn since I am still a beginner. 

If you look at the notes that I posted for this song, I decided that instead of just writing the string number and fret number underneath the notes on the sheet music that is given to me, I would also write down the note name below it as well.  I then decided to go back and revisit all of the other previous songs and write down beneath each note which note I am actually using (E, C, F.....).  My hope is that the more I write this down, the easier I will be able to remember it in the future.

Here are the notes to the song...

Here is the video.  Ignore the crunching in the background because that is my crazy dog chewing on her bone.

The next song on the list is going to be a tribute to my dad, "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow"
