Walk Don’t Run
Study in A Aeolian – Old Time
Rock Instrumental
Start With The Chords
• The progression is as follows:
4/4 ||: Am G | F E7 : ||
Best to do as E form of Barre Chords (6th string
root).
Start with learning these chords. Main chords in the song and the part
of the introduction. A bass line is in the music.
A 2nd guitarist would play this. These are only the root and the 5th of each
of the chords. Really just a simple power chord. This is played 2 times
during the intro. If you have an electric guitar turn the reverb up on this (all
the guitars used reverb on this). In any case palm mute the notes. Do that
by placing your picking hand palm lightly on the bridge so that just a small
part of your hand touches the strings right at the bridge nut.

This whole line is an A Aeolian mode. It also contains the C major scale (C to C).
Watch the timing and to learn the notes say them as you play them.

This whole first part is in 1st position so the fingering is 1st fret = 1st finger, 2nd fret = 2nd finger,
3rd fret = 3rd finger and 4th fret = 4th finger.
Be sure to get this whole part down before moving onto the next section!!

Again this starts with the A minor chord in 1st position then for the 2nd measure it is an F chord broken up appreciated.
For the 3rd measure it is an E chord appreciated. Then it ends on an A minor chord (3rds).
Put all the parts together.
• If playing in a group
– 1st person does bass line.
– 2nd person does chords.
– 3rd person does the melody.
• Notice the sound of minor throughout this
song. This is very similar to many other
songs in rock, folk and ethnic styles.
