- May 9, 2008
"Pencil Thin Mustache" was recorded by Jimmy Buffet on the 1974 album, "Living & Dying in 3/4 Time." In this iVideosongs guitar lesson by Songmaster, instructor Steve Rieck demonstrates the acoustic progression which uses a fingerstyle technique to arpeggiate the chords. Steve also explains the techniques used in the electric guitar leads of the song which include bending, double stops, and chordal bends. This lighthearted classic, played on a capoed acoustic steel string, is a good challenge for intermediate-level players. 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.
