Thanks so much for taking the Three Chords and the Truth workshop!

Below are all the support materials for this course. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Pre-Workshop Materials
This handout covers some basic chords and a right-hand techniques to review before the workshop. If you're participating in re-run mode, download the handout and watch the accompanying video first. Already familiar with the material? Jump straight into the workshop. If it's new to you, take some time to work through it so you're ready to hit the ground running.

Shady Grove
In case you missed it in the workshop description, the song we will be using as a touchstone is Kilby Snow's version of Shady Grove. Don't worry about learning this before the workshop, but do give it a listen, just so you have an ideal of the melody - This is probably not the Shady Grove you are familiar with. We'll be looking at it in both Double C and G tuning.

Listen - Here's a video of Kilby playing and singing his version.
Listen - Here's a more contemporary version that I found from a band called Echo Mountain
