In today's guitar lesson we learn how to play "Boots of Spanish Leather" by Bob Dylan. This is a repeating fingerstyle pattern and chord progression utilizing the alternating bass pattern, aka the travis picking technique. Once you learn the first verse, the rest of the song repeats in a strophic form which is common of many of Dylan's early songs.
