- January 25, 2008
"Long Train Runnin'" was performed by the Doobie Brothers on the 1973 album, "The Captain and Me." This song is fun to play - the opening riff's distinctive, funky strumming pattern is one of the most recognizable in rock music and it will help you develop feel for repetitive acoustic guitar textures and great right hand endurance. Songmaster instructor Steve Rieck shows you how to master the sixteenth note strumming style and barre chords that flesh out this great rock tune. Tablature and chord grids are embedded in the video for all song segments along with a full song performance in sync with the backing track.
