"Dear Mr. Fantasy" by Traffic ~ An "Uncle Tony's Buskeroo™" Guitar Lesson by Tony Cultreri

Here's an "Uncle Tony's Buskeroo™" of how to play “Dear Mr. Fantasy" by the great Steve Winwood and Traffic. This is a jam song; these are the bones. We used to pay this for hours! ~ Tutorial notes: I played the F#m to A part only twice here to save a few seconds. And you can call it a C major pentatonic if you’d like, be my guest! The tag on the original recording is just an A, bouncing off a low G note. ~ Remember: you should strive to have almost no tension in your wrists and hands when you are playing, keeping the rhythm is more important than playing the "right" notes, and down / up picking is the key to the universe!
