    Jerry – you were gracious enough to have a full lesson of Alice’s restaurant on YouTube. I was beginning to learn it all but now I can’t find the video anymore. I don’t mean to be greedy, I just wonder if your videos disappear after a certain amount of time?

    Man, this is a pretty ingenious piece of guitar work. I wonder how Arlo came up with it.

    At some point, can you add the acoustic guitar version of “City of New Orleans”? Thank you.

    AAAHAHA I am SO HAPPY!! Jerry, all your lessons are absolutely brilliant, and this one is no exception! Your ever-present meticulous attention to detail is exactly what I needed to nail this song, one I’ve loved and played for decades, but now I’m playing it CORRECTLY!!

    Thanksgiving Day will NEVER be the same!! :)

    As always, my eternal thanks for your dedication, sharing your knowledge and talent with us, and for the sheer volume of amazing favorite artists and songs. We are all so fortunate to have such a talented instructor available, and I couldn’t be more sincere about it. You have allowed me to improve in every way as a guitarist. All the best, brother.

      You’re the first one to identify it Gina! I’m very happy with it. I didn’t expect its acoustic sound to be as good as it is.

    A great choice, Jerry – one that many people will be very
    happy to get, I’m sure. (I have tried to find an accurate version
    for a long time, that matches Arlo Guthrie’s playing. I’m sure that
    many people have hoped to find an accurate version, for a long time.)

    I’ll buy it now.

    Best regards,

    Philip
