The House of the Rising Sun

This is one of the first songs I learned to pick, and it was very popular at the time, done by the Animals.

I remember being intrigued by the way they picked this song with a flat pick. I was more of a fingerstylist, but I  tried this song using a pick, and loved it. It can even be played using a thumb pick if that’s your preference.

Sometimes it’s not necessary to reinvent the wheel and this is one of those times.

Here’s a link to a page that has everything I intended to include in this page and some interesting history to boot!  I have put the lyric sheet on the lyric page here for you, but this site has the tab as well. Enjoy!

This is the first post from the LeMusic site. In the future, you will see articles showing you how to play your favorite songs, and introducing you to new artists and new styles. Come back soon ’cause this site is still under construction.

 

If you like it so far and want to build one for yourself, I suggest you contact Chuck Peters.
