Frank says
So, just asking. If I purchased the previous lesson do I have access to the new version? How is the new version different/better? Thanks!
Jerry says
Hi Frank
Only in sound quality.
If you’ve learnt the song from the previous version you don’t need this one.
Frank says
Got it, thanks.
Patrick says
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?
Tyson Mindham says
Man, this is a pretty ingenious piece of guitar work. I wonder how Arlo came up with it.
Dennis Headley says
At some point, can you add the acoustic guitar version of “City of New Orleans”? Thank you.
Larry says
I would like to learn the whole song. Is there a Part II to Alice’s Restaurant? Thanks
Jerry says
This the page to buy the whole lesson (complete song)

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.
Jerry says
Thanks a lot Kevin. Save some turkey and a concert seat for me. :)
Kevin in PDX says
God Bless you Jerry, thanks for this one. As another said, Ive been playing this forever but know its not spot on. I am SO excited to finally have the Tutor of the Gods show me the way! About to dig into it, so thanks again and have a safe trip to UK and congratulations to you and yours on your daughters wedding. Next stop; Grandpa Jerry!! :)
Gina says
Love it! Thanks Jerry! Also love your new Rainsong!
Jerry says
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.
Philip Glaser says
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
Damon says
Wondering if you will be doing, The City of New Orleans?
Jerry says
Hi Damon. Yes I will.
