    You know, I signed up for James Taylor’s lessons, thinkiing ,fantastic, I’ll finally be able to figure out how to play one of my favorite songs. Wrong! There is no way I could do this even in slow motion. Maybe I eventually would have done it but man it’s complicated and full of notes. I love it but I couldn’t even tell for sure abt some of the chord fingerings and bc he gives no instruction its a bit frustrating and painfully slow. I still havnt figured out how to get YOUR lessons bc all i have is asmart phone, but I came across your site and I’m all in. It sounds like you’re a talented and effective inspiring teacher and for those who dont have the means to hire a private teacher it sure helps things along when someone like uou is added to the equation. I’m 58 y.o and played the oboe from 3rd to 11th grade and I was inspired to try teaching myself this beautiful instrument. I’m hoping my chord changes will get faster and smoother with enough practice. It helps tremendously to not have to try deciphering what’s happening in favor of being told in a fraction of the time for sure what an artist was doing. A million thanks for your time.

      Hi Kelly.
      To download the lesson on your smartphone you need to be able to unzip the file. You probably need an app to do that. Also be aware that these are large files and you’ll need enough space on your phone to store the files.
      Hope it helps.

    Jerry, you are obviously an extremely talented guitarist and musician. You are also the best guitar instructor/teacher I have ever run across. Your instructions are broken down into logical sections, the dual screen videos are great, your method is clear and consistent and from what I’ve seen so far 100% accurate. So glad I found your website. Thank you. Paul in Nashville.

    Jerry, Your work and dedication is keeping a lot of great acoustic guitar music alive and well. I especially enjoy your breakdown of Dylan and your excellent teaching style. Thanks to you I can play some of the tunes I have always loved. All the best.

    Like others I have played for many years and find your tutorial very easy to understand. Love to spend my spare time working on technical songs that bring back such great memories. Thank you very much for your time spent breaking these songs down for us to enjoy.

    Thank you Lowell. I have been a James Taylor fan since I was seven. I started playing guitar fourteen years ago. I have taken classical fingerstyle lessons since then once a week. I still haven’t played in front of an audience. Your voice is great and so are your lessons.
    Thank you,
    David

    Thank you for your contributions the worlds guitar players. I am 59 and have been playing since age 8. Nothing ever comes easy from my guitar but you definitely help. I really enjoyed “Too Many Angels” by Jackson Browne. Now I just need to learn to sing!
