“Manzanita” | Tony Rice Style – Intermediate/Advanced Guitar Lesson with TAB

With more detail and improvements to this lesson than ever before, we dive into every aspect of this tune in detail: Part A, B and the chords. If you ever wanted to learn Manzanita, my hope is that this lesson will give you everything you need to know to have a complete understanding, rhythm and lead, of this great tune.

The A part for this tune is in 12/8 time and in the key of Dm. The B part moves to a straight 4/4 time giving this song a unique sound and vibe. Using an AAB chord form, it also has a longer chord structure than most traditional bluegrass songs with each section containing 5 bars of notes. I also cover the unique Wyatt Rice version of the chord progression in detail in the Rhythm & Chords section of the lesson.
