It's time for another lesson video! In this video, I'll show you how to play my interpretation of the solo to "Back to the Cross," a song made popular by the Bluegrass Album Band, which featured Legendary Bluegrass masters such as Tony Rice, Doyle Lawson, and J.D. Crowe.

In addition, I'll show you the answer to one of the questions I get asked the most: How do I make it sound like I'm playing two guitars at once? The secret: It's all in the spaces between the notes! (You'll just have to watch to find out what I mean.)

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey toward guitar greatness!
