Summertime George Gershwin

Added by: ARH3
Default Key: Em
Comments:

Don't be intimidated by this one! It's easier than it looks. The [Em] [G6/F#] [G6] [G6/F#] [Em] is actually a pretty simple bass line to pepper in and really brings the song together. Also, on the [B7] try alternating your middle finger between the 5th and 6th strings, second fret for a nice bass line there as well.

This is really the bluegrass-y / Doc Watson way to play the song.
Great tutorial video to get started
