    Really surprised you’ve not done John Renbourn’s Judy. Would love to see what you do with it.

    Also, a fingerstyle instrumental of St. Louis Blues would be pure magic I’m sure.

    Thanks

    Hi Jerry:

    I can never adequately convey how much I appreciate what you do. I’m not fast so I have a lot more of your lessons than I can play. And more I want. I have two questions about things I have encountered in your lessons. If you can find time to answer, I would appreciate it greatly.

    1) Do guitar strings stretch over time to a point where they cannot be properly tuned. I have found that I can tune the open string note but the fretted notes are higher or lower than expected. (i.e. Open 2nd string is B but third fret is not a true D). I suspect it is stretch but am also worried my guitar is a problem. I caught this because I spend so much more time practicing now that I have your lessons.

    2) Is there any kind of prosthetic for the thumb that would make it easier to do thumb-over chords. Of the lessons I have purchased, I have been able to play some of the instances but in one (The Dance), it is painful to do the F# over D chord and I was thinking perhaps there is some thumb-pick type of something that would help me get the string pressed without pain and without affecting the tone of the other strings.

    Thank you again for what you do. It really makes a difference. I wish you had been around 50 years ago, though the Internet was not so I guess it would not have made a lot of difference for me back then.

    Most sincere thanks!

      Hi

      1) Yes. They have to be on for a very long time, but they do eventually get to the point where you can’t keep them in tune.
      But it could also be the intonation on your guitar. If new strings don’t solve the problem, a local tech (maybe at your local music shop) should be able to help

      2) Someone should invent something to play thumb-over chords for us! I’m not aware of anything, but a lot of it is left-hand position. Keep the palm of your hand clamped against the back of the neck for thumb-overs. Alternatively, finger the 6th string note with the index finger and use fingers 2, 3 and 4 for the D chord shape. Classical guitarists would do it that way.

      Have fun and take care
      Jerry

    Jerry, I am just finishing your Beginner lessons. I will visit your “easy’ section (as per your suggestion); however that being said, I would really love a Beginner lessons section “part two” with some chords and finger strings combination for the novel players like myself. I would love to purchase a package deal if you ever put one together. I still feel I need more lessons on the beginners level.

    Finally, a guitar teacher who counts like a drummer. It kills me when I hear UP DOWN DOWN UP UP.
    I once spent half an hour with some guy who failed to understand that he was counting 2 measures as one. From what I’ve seen this is going to be a great site.
    I’m fixated on Steve Earle but I do occasionally learn other songs.

    Hello Jerry,
    Your teaching skills are superb. Your lessons/ videos are easy to follow. Thank you. I am focusing on finger picking. You have given me hope!
    I read through many of the comments and would enjoy much of what has been suggested- folk and blues music, Knopfler acoustic, more Simon and Garfunkel. I’m also interested in more classical- Ava Maria, Fur Elise, Bach’s prelude 1007 to mention a few.
    Any plans to do a Classical Gas lesson?
    Again, many thanks to you,

    For a guitar instrumental, what about Ashoken Farewell, by Jerry Unger? This was the “theme song” for the PBS series The Civil War that was aired a number of years ago. For the series, a violin was used, but the song works well if played with a guitar.

      Hear Hear!! And from that same soundtrack of the Civil War series, what about that beautiful finger picked version of the classic Angel Band. I took up guitar playing about 3 years ago in the hope that I could one day play both of these pieces. I am an Australian – but I just love American traditional, folk and country music.

    I bet a lot of students would like to have some instruction and the guitar tab for the following 27 second solo that Ry Cooder (Ralph Machio faked) played in the movie “Crossroads” as shown in the following video.  We would only want the tab for the 27 second part of the video where the old acoustic blues guitar is played.  The other tunes in the movie are already available.   The solo goes from 1:27  to 1:54 min.  I don’t believe that anyone has transcribed this piece, played  in Oldtime Blues style  (I have searched the web).

    Hi Jerry, I’ve been with you for quite sometime now and purchase few of your lessons. I would appreciate if you could provide guitar lesson for Richard Marx’s “Now and Forever”. Love this song so much and will definitely purchase it if it’s available. There are some free stuff of this song available in YouTube but it’s hard for me to follow. You are definitely the best guitar tutor around. Ed Amayao

    I really like Amazing Grace. After trying 5 other fingerstyle versions found elsewhere, this one is definitely the best. Being an intermediate player, it only took about 2-3 days of practicing to master. My 90 year old mom and dad is going to love hearing me play this one.

    Hi Jerry,

    Great site! Just starting on Fingerpicking section lots to learn. If you ever have time I’m trying to find the Boz Skaggs version of Corrina Corrina found on the Memphis album. It will be a great addition to your site.
    Thanks for everything,
    Bill B

      Hi Jerry,
      It may seem odd to you that I can not find a phone number for you and that the email address really doesn’t get me to you. I did send you a message on facebook but haven’t received a response.
      All I would like is to get a lesson on Leonard Cohens, Hey That’s No Way to Say Goodbye.
      You have a video on youtube. The first time I viewed it was helpful but later the picking right hand was somewhat blocked with a banner. I don’t know where to send my money for this lesson. Please advise.
      Thank you,
      becky

    Hi Jerry, Great instructional videos! Somewhere on your site I heard you play “Today” by John Denver, but I can’t find that as an instructional video to purchase. Any plans on adding that one? Thanks for what you do. Richard

    I have recently discovered your site and absolutely love it. I am interested in the Travis picking style. I know most chords you present with your lessons. However I know nothing of finger picking. Will you come out with a CD for beginner finger picking? Thanks again. Daniel

      Hi Daniel,
      I made a short video introducing Travis picking for those who have never played it.
      It’s on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t_VPUGh514
      If you haven’t seen it yet it’s a good place to start

    Hi Jerry. Like your site. Having played acoustic for a year now I’d like to add an electric guitar. Any lessons on here geared toward that?

      I’ve got a few lessons on electric – not many. Off the top of my head:
      T Rex – Get it On
      Allman Brothers Band – Ramblin’ Man
      Pink Floyd – Dogs
      Pink Floyd – Nile Song
      Pink Floyd – Breathe
      Eagles – New Kid In Town ( the solo is taught on electric)
      Eagles – Hotel California
      Beatles – Come Together

    Hands down, the most “tastfull” fingerstyle guitarist that I know is Mark Knopfler (my opinion). The man can play anything but only puts in a song what is absolutely essential………and no more. To me that speaks of a true master. Perhaps, Jerry, you might grab a song or two from his lineup in the future. A suggestion, “That’s where I belong” from the Notting Hillbillies.
    Also, I’ve yet to meet a guitarist that doesn’t want to learn the groove of J.J. Cale. Food for thought……..
    Keep up the good work. I’ve learned a lot from you and when I retire in just a few months this old hippy will be at it even harder. Cheers, Dennis

      One of the greatest guitarists – I agree with you about Knopfler. For sure some of his material has to appear here. I have a Dire Straits collection planned but I agree that his acoustic stuff is brilliant too.
