In this lesson, I take a deep dive into the classic standard You Go to My Head. The focus is evenly split between chord melody and improvisational concepts, giving you a complete approach to playing the tune both as a solo guitarist and in a small-group setting.
This lesson also introduces a new kind of PDF — rather than a full transcription, it’s designed as a worksheet of key examples and ideas taken from the video. This makes it easier to internalize the concepts and apply them to your own playing.
A backing track is included so you can explore the ideas in context and develop your own interpretation of this timeless tune.
