Coming Up

The lessons that appear on JGB are based on requests I’ve received in the order I receive them. The only exceptions to this are Donovan, Ralph McTell and Joni which are vanity projects of mine because I like exploring their style, and requests for songs that I know I can’t do justice to (shredding heavy metal songs, for example).
This page will always show the next 20.

Tim Buckley – Song To The Siren

John Sebastian – Welcome Back

Jack Johnson – Traffic In The Sky

Garth Brooks – The Dance

Rickie Lee Jones – Chuck E’s In Love

Don McLean – Winter Has Me In Its Grip

Ricky Nelson – Garden Party

Great American Songbook – When I Fall In Love

John Prine – I Hate It When That Happens To Me

Eric Bogle – No Man’s Land

Skip James – Hard Time Killin’ Floor Blues

Tom Waits – Martha

The Rolling Stones – The Last Time

Peter, Paul & Mary (Paul Stookey) – Wedding Song

John Denver – Follow Me

James Taylor – Golden Moments

Pachalbel – Canon (instrumental)

Merle Haggard – Blues Stay Away From Me

Joni Mitchell – Just Like This Train

Ralph McTell – Hand of Joseph

    Hi Jerry!!! Hoping you have some Peter Frampton upcoming on your list?? All I wanna beeeeee is by your siiiide!!! :)

      Hi Victoria
      I’ll add it to the to-do list.
      You probably know that the number of requests is completely out of hand now – about 15 years of work if I continue the 10 a month pace! :)
      Next year we’ll set up a system where folks can look at the whole request list and vote on the ones they want next.
      I hope that’ll be a more practical way to go.

        For this new request system on voting on what song to choose! Is it possible to make multiple votes or do we have to make a vote on just one song?

        • Jerry says

          No decisions taken yet Charlie. It will come with a major site re-design that we want to put in next year. The details will depend on what we can do technically that will be fair.
          Obviously we’ll want to prevent the possibility of someone pushing their favourite to the top by voting for it multiple times. How we’ll do that I don’t yet know.

    You already have Big Love and Never Going Back Again by Fleetwood Mac. Do you have Bleed to Love Her listed yet, I wonder?

    Hey Jerry-
    I have an idea. As you know, 14 years is a long time (I’m old!) so how about this: You publish your backlog list and we vote for the songs we’d like you to work on. We get one vote for every song we’ve purchased from you. Seems fair, doesn’t it? Maybe a little complicated, but that’s what technology is for. What do you think?
    The only downside, that I can see, is it takes away the excitement of seeing the next song on the list when a new one is published. I can live with that.
    Cheers

      Thanks Frank
      Something will have to change for sure. I like your idea. We can’t do it yet for technical reasons (no way to stop people voting multiple times), but next year we’re aiming to add a subscription option to the site and with that would come the ability for subscribers to vote. So that’s when we’ll implement it if the plan works out. ‘We’ is just me and Isabel in case you think it’s a big tech team! ;)

      • Frank says

        Terrific! I’ll be looking forward to the new system. Just to state the obvious (before the subject gets away) a system like that will help ensure that the tunes you work on will have the most “commercial potential”, besides pleasing the most people. So, it may not make everyone happy, certainly not the guy who’s obscure song is right around the corner, but it should make more people happy. Last point then I’ll shut up- You provide a great service and we all appreciate it. Thanks.

      Jerry,

      It’s exciting to hear that you’re searching for a way to change the current request system! I can see multiple ways that might be done, some simple and some requiring minor IT assistance, but of course you’ll have thought through the options already. It appears that the length of your current list has resulted from too many unrestricted suggestions? The voting idea is certainly one workable approach if you can appropriately restrict the voters to those with some skin in the game, and in my opinion that’s absolutely fair.

      Count me in for whatever subscription service will break the current logjam, and the sooner the better!

        Hi Terry. Yep, we need to change the current request system and the voting idea seems a good way to go. We’re working on a major change that should include this, and we’re hoping to release it during 2020.

          Here is a another thought from a longtime student. Finish off your series of mzjor players. Beatles, Paul Simon, James Taylor etc. Many of us have been waiting for several additions to thise artists that you have bern very committed to through the years. I think you have a hance to really complete an amazing archive on these that no one else has achieved. This would. E quite a legacy.

    Hi Jerry,
    May I suggest a lesson on the classic Blues instrumental ‘ Pickin the Blues’,the old John Peel show theme tune. It was originally recorded by Elmore James but the version used by JP was recorded by a band called Grinderswitch. I think it will need two or three guitar parts and even a bit of slide so plenty to get your teeth into.

    Is there any way we could “preview” even snippets of the playthru versions of your lessons? Not to download or copy – just to listen to. I’m sure there is a lot of great material on there that I don’t pay any attention to because I am not familiar with them. Your prices are very reasonable for what we get – especially with the batch discounts. I could see picking some music because I know it and want to learn it and then rounding up my order with pieces that I liked because I was able to preview it.

    For most we can google the artist and the piece and listen to it ahead of time. Maybe I am just being lazy. ;-) Thanks for all the work you put into this.

    Hi Jerry. So awesome to see that you did Life on Mars by David Bowie as a fingerstyle arrangement. It is an excellent arrangement and am so glad you chose to take that approach. I was wondering whether Elton’s “Yellow Brick Road” in your upcoming list might get the same treatment? Love that song and fingering arrangements. Thanks!

    Reply

    • Jerry says

      That’ll be my default approach Aaron for sure. The only caveat I’d add is that it was my default approach for Candle In The Wind too, but after a couple of days of torturing myself and the song, I realised it lent itself to a flatpicked version much more naturally. But I did Your Song and Sorry Seems to Be as fingerpicked, so if it can be done, I’ll do Goodbye YB Road that way too.

      Hello in there Jerry. Thanks to your basic TravisPicking lesson and your John Prine detailed lessons I have recently learned how to ride the Travis bicycle. It was like you said, and exactly like that.

      -I woke up, picked up the guitar and all of a sudden my fingers started dancing over the strings with ‘pull offs’ and ‘hammer ons’ and a relentless bass going on all the time. It gave me goosebumps and looked over my shoulder thinking somebody else was playing. It has opened up many songs and finally I can use my voice WITH the guitar where as the guitar used to slow me down. Thanks Jerry. Please dont stop bringing out these great songs. I have a problem by the way. I have ran out of JP songs!

    A huge “Thank You” for the wonderful arrangement on Ashokan Farewell.

Your chord voicings are gorgeous and I can’t wait to get started on this.

    There are many renditions available on this song, but not in the original key of D, and your version catches all the innuendo of Jay’s violin as well as the guitar. Thanks to you, many of us will be able to treat friends and families with this one.

    Hope everything is well with you! Some time back I requested Southern Cross (CSN), To Love Somebody (Bee Gees) and Blackberry Wine (Gordon Lightfoot). Are these anywhere on the horizon? And do you plan on doing more by John Sebastian?

    Thank you Jerry,

    Terry (MA – USA)

      Hi Terry
      Here’s where they are on the list:
      Southern Cross – 260
      To Love Somebody – 1336
      Blackberry Wine – I don’t know how interesting this will be. The acoustic guitar part is buried and is just strummed chords plus a basic boogie pattern. The electric is the dominant instrument. What would you like to see covered in this lesson?
      John Sebastian –
      Welcome Back – 117
      Rain On The Roof – 142
      Younger Generation – 175
      Nashville Cats – 317
      You’re a Big Boy Now – 327
      Darling Companion – 372
      You Didn’t Have To Be So Nice – 427
      She’s a Lady – 448
      Coconut Grove – 467

    Hi Jerry,
    I was wondering if you were considering doing a lesson for Entangled by Genesis(I love this song SOOOOOOOOO much) and also some good old Marillion songs like Easter or Sugar Mice?

    Thanks a lot for your hard work!

    Reply

    • Jerry says

      Hi Jeremie
      I’m not familiar with Marillion’s music but I’ll add those two to the mix.
      Entangled is on the to-do list. I’m not sure how I’ll do it as there are actually several guitar parts on that track and they’re all key to the overall sound. I have to decide whether to teach all of them or (more likely) see if I can compress them into one guitar part that gets the basic feel across.

      Reply

      • Anonymous says

        Well as you said about Entangled, every guitar part is crucial to the sound. Honestly I wouldn’t mind paying more for an in depth lesson, especially on that specific song that I really love! When I see the quality of the lessons I bought(which seem a bit old compared to your new stuff), I’m 100% you’ll make it the right way!!

        Started to learn Cadence and Cascade by King Crimson as well recently, it would totally fit your repertoire by the way!

        Thanks again for the hard work!

    Hi Jerry
    Have been enjoying your lessons since getting the dreaded mallet finger on my left hand little finger. Following doctor’s advice to the word left me with a still crooked end joint. A painful 6 months of learning your Sandy Denny pieces has completely cured it, and as a dreadfully slow learner, I find your style really helpful. Now working through Denise at 16 and Forever Autumn.
    Can I put in a request for some Steve Tilston, especially the Slip Jigs and Reels & The Naked Highwayman from the Greening Wind album or And So It goes from the album of the same name.
    I appreciate these will be far down the list, but I think children and children’s children will get a lot of fun from them.
    Thanks for all you do.

    Dear Jerry;

    Thanks for another HMS Donovan song, The Song of Wandering Aengus. I wonder how many of your customers realize that the lyrics are actually a poem written by the great Irish poet William Butler Yeats back in the 1890’s. I find it absolutely enchanting. I hope to see the few songs left on that album if you can find the time.

    Sincerely,

    Steven Goss

        I’d like to join Steven in thanking you for the wonderful Song of the Wandering Aengus. A joy to play and sing! Old Fashioned Picture Book is one of my HMS favourites, so really looking forward to seeing you play that one (imagine you will have seen the Tokyo Hotel Room clip). I’d love it if you could do Coulter’s Candy, too. Not on the HMS album but another real Don gem from the box set Try For The Sun, is Moon In Capricorn. I think I already mentioned it. All the best

          Hi Marc
          I’ll add Coulter’s Candy, no problem. I’m sure I can do Moon in Capricorn as well. I’ve resisted it because only the aficionados are going to know an unreleased song, but if it doesn’t present a lot of problems I’ll probably get to it :)

      Sad Lisa I’m pretty certain will be fingerpicked. I can’t say yet about Life on Mars because I haven’t taken a look at it but it might be a combination – fingerpicked verse, strummed chorus. We’ll see…

    Good Morning, Jerry!

    Your available lessons are impressive collection and I’m most grateful that you’ve provided them. I was a bit surprised though to see that both the finger-picking standard “Windy and Warm” and the beautiful “Ashokan Farewell” haven’t been offered yet. If they aren’t already on your future list there’s no point in adding them; if I understand correctly, at ten new songs per month they wouldn’t appear for over 11 years and that is very unlikely to be useful to me. But perhaps they’ve already been requested?

    Hello Jerry. I’d like to add my vote to adding the collections back. It was a much easier way of going through an artist (i.e. the Beatles), narrowing a focus, and seeing what was upcoming. It also incentivized learning songs I didn’t think I’d enjoy (for example, the Beatles I’ll Be back – which is extremely fun to play).

    Even if you at least grouped them by year like you did before, and showed all the songs you plan on doing, it would help.

    Also, request wise, would you be interested in one or two Alice Cooper? I always thought ‘Only Women Bleed’ and ‘Ballad of Dwight Fry’ would be interesting in a solo acoustic arrangement!

    Thanks

      I also miss the collection listings. Just like buying an album in my youth I would discover or rediscover forgotten songs. Also, I thought it was a great benefit when I already owned a collection to purchase any new additions at a discounted price. Now I find myself holding back on purchases waiting to. improve my discount rate through volume buying.

    Just curious — I requested “Walking Back To Georgia” by Jim Croce awhile ago, and was wondering if it is still on the list, and where? Thank you for all the awesome work you put in for us! I just wish I had the time to learn them all, and unlimited funds!

        Working on it. I cant get a response from Ovation on a replacement, and the luthiers I have spoken to refer me to better luthiers. So, I am hopeful, but it might be pricey. And thank you for the estimate – a timeline gives something to look forward to!

    Hi Jerry! I’m sure your list of to’do’s is immense as ever, but if you ever feel so compelled, I’d love to see a lesson on Take Me to the Mardi Gras. There’s a really good acoustic demo tacked on to the end of There Goes Rhymin Simon which would be perfect for transcribing.

      Hi Ingo
      Do you get the newsletter? The June newsletter said that collections would be disappearing after 1 month (in July) and replaced with a discount structure that allows any mixture of artists’ lessons to get a discount.

          after an almost sleepless night I have to say that I can go any longer with you:-(
          I loved your calm voice with seemingly so much emotion, I loved your way to teach, your lessons were always inspiration.
          but this new system is a shitty one, it favors – as all around the world – the moneyish people
          a working class hero is something to be
          its a mad world
          all you need is money
          it’s hard to say goodbye

            It’s not about money Ingo. GDPR means we can no longer email existing collection owners with new lessons added to the collection (not without getting their explicit consent first).
            Additionally, we’ve always had requests from people to provide a discount if they wanted a mixture of artists. We couldn’t do this technically in the past but we now can so we’ve tried to do something to help those folks.
            This really falls under the “can’t please all the people all the time” category, but even so, if enough people want the collections reinstated, I can do it. But purchasers won’t be offered new songs added to the collection and no new collections will be made.

    What happened to Sweet Home Chicago and Persuasion by Richard Thompson?

    I was looking forward to learning those songs.

    Cheers

    Reply

    • Jerry says

      Persuasion turns out to be stupendously difficult so I need to take time transcribing it and then learning it. I didn’t realise it would be so hard!
      Sweet Home Chicago suffers from a limitation of my technique. That muted thumping bass where the thumb plays the 6th and 5th strings while the fingers play independently is just night and day from my precise, James Taylor kind of fingerpicking style.
      Again, I’ll keep it on the back burner and hopefully get to it if I can get inside that playing style. I think it might be one for the RJ specialists, but we’ll see.

        Jerry, I am disappointed as well. I was really looking forward to Sweet Home Chicago. Hope you decide to tackle it soon. Some times I see a new song on the list and can’t wait then when it finally hits the top of the list you pull it. I felt that way when you also pulled Layla by Eric Clapton. I understand you only want to put out a quality product.

      Good to see Sweet Home Chicago is up now, I’ll have to pick that up when my budget permits (exchange rates have not been kind to the NZ dollar lately).
      It’s disappointing about Persuasion, but I’m not surprised – RT is fiendishly skilled and has a style very much his own. I’m still hoping for “King of Bohemia” though, I love that one :)

        I will do Persuasion. I have it tabbed out now (7 Pages of tab!) and I’ll take it slowly alongside other lessons and release it when it’s done. I took it off the list so folks wouldn’t expect it imminently. It is a brilliant guitar part.

    If there’s one request I could make, I’d REALLY like to see good tabs for two John Denver songs I’ve been trying to get right for years: “Prisoners” and the “Late Winter, Early Spring (When Everybody Goes to Mexico)” movement from the Season Suite, both on the Rocky Mountain High album. Also, I’ve noticed that you have a finished listing for Don McLean’s “Magdalene Lane”, and an upcoming version of “On the Amazon”, which is great, but what I really want are tabs of both these things from the live version off his Solo album, both of which seem substantially different from the studio versions. I would buy any of these up in an instant, but ANY help that keeps me from having to do the time and labor-intensive tabbing out for myself would be greatly appreciated.

    • Jerry says

      Hi Toph
      Those Don McLean songs aren’t so different on Solo. The lesson on Magdalene Lane uses the studio version but incorporates a couple of the small changes he makes on the Solo version. I’m sure On The Amazon will do the same.

    After using your video lesson I have had that dream of mine fulfilled!
    There are a lot of lessons and stuff on Youtube but your lessons are so spot on and perfect that I have no qualms whatsoever purchasing from your site.

    You are an excellent teacher and you have my thanks.
    As a final note I was wondering… I have seen you post some old Celtic tunes (Neil Gow, The Skye Boat Song etc). I was wondering if you have ever thought about doing a Furey’s song? I’m not sure how popular they would be, but I personally would definitely purchase a lesson on “The Green Fields of France” or “The First Leaves of Autumn”.

I suppose guitar ceased to be so important in the music around this era! Would be very interested in the chords john used on the original demo of strawberry fields and of what guitar was left in the studio version, though im aware its a bit of a Frankenstein of different takes and tapespeeds. Always preferred the original pitch (the lower album vocal does not sound like john) but like the speed with it slowed down, very odd track.

    Jerry,

    The lessons on Townes, Nick Drake, and Sandy Denny have all been excellent. I’ve seen several videos on ND’s Riverman and yours was the only one to include the hammer-ons (clearly audible on the record) in the instrumental section. Thanks so much for your attention to detail!

    Would you consider adding some John Fahey or Bert Jansch to your site? My vote would be for “In Chirst there is No East or West” by Fahey and “Blackwaterside” by Jansch. Thanks again

          Wow its on the list! So happy! I will definitely get all of the John Fahey songs.. his style is so unique and he is able to create such a vivid picture

              Would welcome a Fahey collection too. He was an amazing guitarist.
              If you want to learn “In Christ” it’s taught by Richard Gilewitz on his DVD – ‘All-Time Favorite Fingerpicking Guitar Tunes’. He learned it from Fahey when they toured together at one point.
              The song isn’t difficult to learn and is great fun to play. Sounds like there’s so much going on.
              The DVD can be found on Ebay from time to time and elsewhere on the Net.
              No tab is included as it’s one of those ‘learn by watching’ discs but if you contact Richard on his website he might supply one.
              (Apologies to Jerry for mentioning someone else’s product on his website.)

      It’s time for me to give up on this style of Stills song Charlie. I had the same problem with Black Queen. He has a fingerpicking.strumming hybrid style that, try as I might, I can’t replicate. I can play a version of See the Changes that has the authentic chord shapes, but it doesn’t sound like Stills and I’m not comfortable with it.

    Can’t thank you enough for your great lessons. I have become a much better guitarist over the past couple of years because of you.

    I know you great a thousand requests a day so I won’t bother you with that but have you ever considered doing the entire acoustic part to The Who’s Tommy? I know it would be a tremendous undertaking. Just curious.

    Hey Jerry, you’re lessons have transformed my guitar practice so that it now consists mostly of learning different songs from your artist collections.

Is there a specific theory or chord book that you would recommend in addition to learning songs from you? I’d love to see you do a video on how we should spend an hour practicing guitar everyday.

          I’ll drop it down the list a touch while I continue working on it. I think what I’ll do is use his strummed acoustic guitar part as he plays it live today (so we keep the JGB ‘ethic’ of teaching it as played by the artist), and make a separate lesson on Peter White’s Spanish guitar part.

        Hi Jerry and Danny. Tom Rush has been a top folk type singer in the Boston USA area for decades. Perhaps his biggest national hit in the states was his rendition of Joni Mitchell’s “Urge for Goin'” which I think he recorded in the late 60’s. He does it in A but the fingerpicking is nice.

    Jerry, I’ll ask a question here as I think your other regulars might be interested. We’re all well acquainted with the yellow thumb pick. Can you tell us how and why you use it – tips on getting used to one – and any preferences? Love the site, Jerry…..best wishes for the new studio.

    Reply

    • Jerry says

      Hi George.
      Affair on 8th Ave is on the list for the future.
      The thumb pick is a Fred Kelly Speed Pick. I’ve used a thumb pick for as long as I can remember – so long that I can’t actually remember much of the process of getting familiar with it. For me it gives more articulation to the bass notes which is so crucial in fingerstyle playing where you want to hear each note inthe context of the others.
      That doesn’t make it a recommendation to use one. Classical players don’t use them and articulate beautifully, so it’s not essential.
      If you want to try one I recommend giving it two weeks of using it every day. At first it will feel very strange. If after 2 weeks it still feels strange it’s probably not for you. But if you like it, two weeks will be enough to assimilate it into your style.

    Hi Jerry

    Great lessons –

    Any chance of adding the Detectorists theme tune (I will be your treasure) by Johnny Flynn to your list please?

    Hi Jerry,
    Can you please add to your lesson list Glen Hansard’s “Let Me In” from his “A Season On The Line” EP.
    A beautiful song and one i’m desperate to learn.
    Cheers,
    Paul.

    Been loading up on your lessons Jerry. They are clearly the very best out there. And anxiously waiting for Don McLean’s Empty Chairs and Vincent. Excited to finally see them on the list of Coming Up Next.

    Thanks for this great service!!!!!

    Thanks for the great lessons Jerry. I’ve been looking around for reasonable instruction on “Like a Summer Thursday” for a while, and was wondering whether you have it on your Townes to do list. If not, would you consider adding it?

    Hi Jerry – The Last Time I Saw Richard has disappeared off the top of ‘coming next’. Appreciate that it might be off the menu on this occasion. Is there a problem with it or is it IT and studio issues. Thanks again for the lessons. Keep them coming. Jonathan.

      I’m struggling with it Jonathan. Tried it as a straight transcription of the piano part and it’s almost unplayable. Tried it strummed in Joni style and it just sounds too generic. I’ve put it on the back burner for further thought.

        I kind of suspected it would be difficult. The other piano / guitar transcriptions are great but ultimately e.g. River, works better in the Sarah Maclachlan version ( sorry Joni!). Looking forward to Sweet Bird! Thanks for the response. Back to Big Yellow Taxi……..

    Great instruction. I’ve been fingerpicking for about 50 years and have mostly tried to pick stuff off the record(s) and CD(s). Some of these are pretty close to what I do, but others show me A LOT of things I missed.

    I’m a big Gordon Lightfoot fan. Can you have a lesson on Softly and then “The Way I Feel”. I’ve got Softly down (cause I watched him on stage), but “The Way I Feel” is in an alternate tuning that I can’t figure out.

    Hopefully you can add Stealer’s Wheel “Star” and America’s “Lonely People” into your already great
    library of fabulous song lessons. Thank you Jerry for the great work you do in making these songs accessable
    and playable to all guitar lovers and music enthusiasts alike

    Can hardly wait for your lesson on Vincent by Don McLean! It is one of the most touching compositions he ever composed.

    Hey Jerry,

    So are you going to tell us why you didn’t do a lesson on Stephen Stills – Black Queen?
    I didn’t see any mention of it in the newsletter.

    Thanks,

      I forgot to mention it. Long story short, I wasn’t happy that my playing was capturing Stephen’s style well enough. But I tabbed out the whole thing. Email me if you want the tab.

    Hi Jerry,

    Hey Jerry, your lessons are the best on the entire internet; I truly mean that. The Eric Clapton blues series has been amazing and I have finally finished it. I was wondering if their was anyway to get anymore Eric Clapton blues like: Hey Hey, Signe, Drifting, Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out, Love In Vain, Walkin’ Blues? I would pay a lot of money and be eternally grateful! Thank you so much Jerry

    hi Jerry
    I know you get flooded with requests but I just want to show my surprise that you don’t have one song by Neil Diamond, given his popularity, I know some of his songs would be simple campfire songs but you do such a good lesson I am sure they would be very good, also he has some beautiful tunes such as “play me” or “you dont bring me flowers” etc.
    Thats just my two bobs worth Jerry, I love your work and have for years now.
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Another great Joni Mitchell transcription. Both Joni and Sarah Maclachlan version of River. Looking forward to so many of Joni’s songs – you must be working 25 hours per day!

    Please add Dan Fogelberg’s Sometimes a Song on your long list. I will keep waiting no matter how long it takes.

    Hi Jerry, I’m sure you get lots of requests but Good Time Charley’s Got the Blues/Danny O’Keefe is a lovely melody if you ever have time. Thanks.

    Hi Jerry,

    That’s for all the awesome tutorials you’ve made so far! I’ve been learning a LOT of your CSN, Jim Croce, Neil Young tutorials! I was wondering if you would consider making a tutorial for the following?

    Johnny’s Garden – Steven Stills
    Southern Cross – CSN
    Radio – David Crosby

    Dear Jerry,

    First, congratulations on the new website. It looks awesome!
    Second, it would be fantastic if you could jump ahead and give us a song or two off Donovan’s fingerpicking masterpiece HMS Donovan in the not too distant future.

      A lot of folks are waiting on the acoustic songs from Gift to a Flower so that has to come first Marc. Sorry.

        Never mind, I’ll just have to be patient. Some of the songs on Gift to a Flower are really great, too! Especially side two. Look forward to seeing Epistle to Derroll and others. best wishes

    Hi Jerry, I’m wondering if you have considered a grab bag type of collection. Collectors choice so to speak. If a buyers selects a variety of songs equal to the average # of songs in the collection series then they would get a similar deal. Potentially a good sales tool for you and a opportunity for the student that wants to learn thru a variety of artists rather then the individual artist. Thanks, Damon

    One way to handle it would be to only load the last 10-20 comments (although it’s a little more fiddly than that suggests with replies)…that way you don’t have to do a manual cull all the time.
    On the other hand I’ve got a really bad cold so what I just wrote might not be totally coherent.

    Just to let you know, we’ve deleted the comments on this page. There were so many that they were causing the page to load very slowly.
    I’ve kept a record of every request so nothing has been lost.
    Feel free to continue to add comments and requests. Just be aware we’ll periodically refresh the page to avoid the site speed problem, but we’ll always keep our own record of all the requests that you make.
    All the best.

      Hi Jerry,
      I have recently come across your website/youtube channel and as I only recently started learning the guitar, I have found your tutorials very helpful – particularly your Joni Mitchell lessons. I was wondering if it would be at all possible for you to do a “Morning Morgantown” tutorial at some stage?

      Thanks very much!
      Emma
