    Hi Jerry,

    Great lessons, a natural born teacher! I was a bit sceptical about online tutorials, however, yours are so clear and easy to follow. So pleased I found your site, will spread the news.

    Cheers,

    Ben

    Hi Peter,

    Looks like you discovered the free lesson for Bird on a Wire (along with Suzanne). Just to let you know I do have Hey That’s no Way To Sau Goodbye, but it’s one of my paid lessons. If you’re interested you can find it as part of the Leonard Cohen Collection in my ‘As Played By The Artist’ series.

    All the best
    Jerry

    I just watched your video for Suzanne by Leonard Cohen and I’m so grateful to you. I’m just starting to learn to finger pick and I’m a huge Leonard Cohen fan and I love that song as well as several others and I can’t wait to get it down so I can play it. It’s a very well done and easy to follow lesson and it sounds spot on. Thanks so much.

    Any chance of doing a lesson for “Hey, That’s No Way to Say Goodbye”? I’d love to learn that one has well. I saw him here in Atlanta this past spring and it was an amazing evening! So many wonderful songs! Thanks again for your time and generosity!!!
