Master the Classic Song “Dust in the Wind” with Easy Guitar Lessons – Start Now!

If you’re looking to add a classic song to your repertoire, try learning “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas. It’s a great song to learn for beginners because the left hand techniques are fun and the right hand technique is easy to understand.

The story I’ve heard about this song is that it was originally written as a finger exercise. That may or may not be true, but it does make for a fun song to play. In this video, I’ll break down the beginning of the song into two sections and explain how to do the right and left hand techniques.

When it comes to fingerpicking, there are two techniques you can use. You can either use your thumb, first, and second fingers, or you can use your thumb and first finger. It’s also a good idea to use your pinky to brace your hand against the guitar. This will help you to stabilize your hand and make it easier to move from your fingertips.

For the right hand, you’ll be using your thumb and first two fingers. Start by playing the bottom string with your thumb and then pick the two strings on the top with your first and second fingers. You’ll want to keep your fingers close to the strings and your hand over the sound hole for the best sound.

For the left hand, you’ll need to use a combination of hammer-ons, pull-offs, and slides. Start by placing your first finger on the third fret of the fourth string. Then hammer-on to the fifth fret of the fourth string with your third finger. Pull-off with your third finger to the third fret and then slide up to the fifth fret with your first finger.

That’s the basics of how to play the first section of “Dust in the Wind”. Although it may seem complicated at first, practice makes perfect and you’ll be playing this classic song like a pro in no time.
