Hi Jerry! Love your guitar lessons. It would be so great to see a guitar lesson for Bruce Cockburn’s My Lady and My Lord off of Sunwheel Dance (1972)

Hi Jerry, Would you do a transcription of Bruce Cockburn’s Closer to the Light from Dart to the Heart? Thank you! Mike

I second that! Personally I would LOVE to get some coaching on some of his classic ’70’s stuff, notable Rainfall (open C I think) or even something tricky like Badlands Flashback or Prenons la Mer. Thanks for considering.

Oh, Jerry. Please do One of the Best Ones by Bruce Cockburn. You are the absolute BEST. I smiled all through learning Coyote as you suggested and found that, yep…I can play it AND sing it. What a feeling!
