Chicago

Meet Pickup Music's head of education, Karl Kerfoot. He has used the CAGED system to write a tune inspired by Chicago's 70's classic rock masterpiece 25 or 6 to 4.

This track will help you lock in your CAGED octaves and give you a heck of a strumming workout.

Difficulty: 4/10

This song features:

• C octaves
• Rock-style downward picking
• Attitude.

Lesson

Karl will teach you the tune, lick by lick.
