Vestapol – Acoustic Classic
In this lesson I’m investigating the finger-style blues standard that goes by the name of Vestapol. It’s quite mysterious piece of music that many people have played in many different ways. I attempt to get to the bottom of things with a nice, playable arrangement of the tune.
I realised I inadvertently failed to discuss the way I play the V chord in the first chorus – it must have got accidentally chopped out when I edited the video. I hope you’ll be able to figure out what’s going on by watching the slow play through. The tab for that bit is shown below. The thumb sticks to the 4th and 5th strings.
