Video Transcript

"Now, for our final melody in this segment "Yankee Doodle". You've probably heard this one before (sings and hums the song). Well, this one is going to use all three of our strings. The high E, the B and the G. Notes on each of them that we know. So, we're going to start on C (the first fret of the B string). There's two C's. C, C, D, E, C, E, D. Be careful about that reversal there. C, C,D,E,C. Hold for two beats. This is a half note. B, C, C, D, E,F, E,D,C, B. Now open G. G, A,B,C,C. Let's try that again. C, C, D,E,C,E,D, C, C, D, E,C,B, C, C, D, E, F, E, D, C, B, G, A,B, end on C, C."
