If you’re looking for some inspiration for full-sounding, rhythmically interesting acoustic guitar parts then Elixir Strings artist Scott Goldbaum has you covered with this short video lesson.

Using movable chord shapes and a combination of open strings, alternating bass Travis Picking and hammered-on notes within the chords creates a rich, propulsive sound. The approach is great for solo accompaniment and singer-songwriters, so take some time to get your picking hand dialed in and apply to your own tunes!

Explaining why he’s a fan, Scott says, “I love the tone, the feel and the response of Elixir Strings."
