DOWNLOAD ONLY. This is a DOWNLOAD ONLY Homespun single song lesson. “Keep Your Hand On The Plow” is a famous old spiritual and civil rights anthem that’s great for learning basic fingerpicking. Beginning pickers will learn to keep the steady-thumb, alternating bass technique going while picking out easily accessible melody notes. The song only has two chords (A minor and E7), so you can really concentrate on what your right hand is doing. Eventually you’ll add syncopation and make it swing. 18 min.
