Wagon Wheel (Tony and @Bill_Brown combo platter)
@Bill_Brown, in a comment on Friday’s lesson (thanks Bill), mentioned how he played the chord progression to Wagon Wheel using root and 1<sup>st</sup> inversion triads. I had done this chord progression previously, in different ways each time through. I wasn’t going to do it again, but seeing Bill’s post, challenged me. Trying it in different ways helps me grow. Bill said he liked it finger style, but I used a pick since I was playing it through in other ways also. I was not familiar with the triads, and so my transitions and hitting the right strings lacked some accuracy. Such as it is, here is my combo platter: first playing it as Tony did, but with a 3 finger G; then Bill’s triads; then in a percussive way; next with a standard strumming pattern; and last, back to Bill’s triads (hitting extra strings in my inaccuracy). My tempo increases as I go along.

That was an awesome combination @Philb , I loved it!!!! The sound of the full chords in combination with the triads (to me) was mind blowing- no doubt. Thank you for choosing to use triads and showing others how great (and different) they can make things sound compared to the normal. I will pull the triads out again in a couple of weeks!

That was a bunch of fun and instructive to see it rather than read it. Thanks for sharing. Be careful or @Bill_Brown will corrupt you with his out of the box thinking!
