"Searching the Fingerboard" is a standard ragtime blues chord progression in C:

C/ E7/A7/D7/G7/C
C/ E7/A7/D7/G7
C/C7/F/Ab7
C/ E7/A7/D7/G7/C

We begin using first position chords and then explore other chord fingerings up the neck. During the C/C7/F/Ab7 part we experiment with rhythmic licks and single string runs.

The aim of the lesson is to free you beyond the fifth fret and teach you different techniques to combine with the alternating bass.
