In this week's lesson I'll answer a question about combining strumming with walking basslines - using Bob Dylan's classic Blowin' in the Wind as an example. This will help you capture the distinctive guitar sound Dylan is using during the chorus, which goes a long way in elevating a 3-chord song. And of course, you can use this technique in plenty of other songs & situations - so it's absolutely one worth getting the hang of. Let's get into it!
