I will have three versions of Bill Cheatham Beginner Video available.

Bill Cheatham Beginner Video - The First Version, This page is the first version of this song and, is an beginner version based mostly of the treble strings. While this is a simplified version of this song, it sounds great when played up to speed and gives you the "seed" for learning the intermediate version.

Bill Cheatham Beginner Video is played at about 220 to 230 bpm at full speed, so it really moves along. Be sure to capo the second fret to be able to play it in the key of A.

Bill Cheatham Intermediate Video - Second Version: This page is the intermediate version of tablature and notation, and there are a lot more fill-ins in this song. There are long strings of eighth notes, which will not give your right hand a break, so you really have to work on strength training for your right hand on this break.

Make sure to memorize your songs. What is the easiest way to do this? Unless you have perfect pitch, you will have to learn one section or measure at a time. Once you can play flawlessly move on to the next measure and add it to what you have memorized. Continue this and make sure you can play the first half of the song, including the second ending.

Once you have the first half memorized, move on to the second half, doing the same thing with the second half of the song.
