The Wayfaring Stranger (Eva Cassidy)—Complete Guitar Lesson

Eva Cassidy's beautiful take on a song first published in the 1850s (with a melody dating to the 1600s) is a lesson in simplicity and constancy. There's a single Travis-style picking pattern that she plays throughout, until strumming in the final verse and chorus. In this video, we'll look at all the chord shapes, a step-by-step into to the picking pattern, the alternating bass, the strumming and the bass work she adds to it, and we'll play it all through with the tab on the screen to give you a proper guide to playing this song as she did.

So, if you've enjoyed the video and want to support my work here, please consider a Super Thanks (like a tip jar, under the video) and that sends a couple of bucks my way so I can keep his project going. Many thanks, you wonderful viewers! ☺️
