There are two lessons in the download file. The first lesson teaches Cat’s acoustic guitar part as played on the original album version, and the second teaches Alun Davies’ part which is in fact the more prominant part on the original recording.
You’ll get two lessons and two play thru videos with this one. Both Cat’s and Alun Davies’ guitar parts are so crucial to the sound of the record that it seemed essential to cover them both.
To learn the song as a solo player you’ll probably want to go with Alun’s part, but there is value in learning both guitar parts as they’re both integral to the beautiful sound of this song.
The preview video shows the introduction taken from both guitar parts.
The complete file contains 2 lesson videos, 2 performance play thru videos, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive 2 links to download the lessons which will download as 2 zip files totalling 354 Mb containing all the lesson content.
