I usually play "Back Home" with my band, using an electric guitar and a crunchy sound. But this ballad also sounds great on an archtop or acoustic guitar, even when played without accompaniment. In this lesson, I'll explain exactly how to play "Back Home". Soon at the Jazz School I'll be showing you the solo and methods for improvising over "Back Home". Discussing the solo now would have been too much for this lesson.
