    Hey Jerry,

    Great lessons.
    Tabs, chords,lyric sheets plus video lessons on how to play the songs all for $5.97!
    Although, I know some are priced slightly higher. It’s a great deal. I’ve bought 5 song lessons and have enjoyed them all.
    Does the beginner version of “Before you accuse me” have complete tabs and a video lesson?

    Appreciate all your hard work.

    Thanks,
    Randy

      Hi Randy. Yes it does. It’s not really beginner but it’s much easier than the full Clapton version. It’s a good place to start.
      Cheers, Jerry

      Hi George,

      I didn’t originally have that one on the list but I’ve added it. This collection’s going to end up pretty comprehensive!

    This MP4 is great for “blue’s jammin’ with a blues harp, quite apart from the guitar lessons, this song REALLY lends itself to easily “bending” a few notes on the old ‘suck n blow’ simple style 10 note harp.

    I used a cheap “A” (pitch) for “E” key Hohner Silverstar and despite the fact I am a rank amature with a harmonica it sounds GREAT played on top of your lesson.. WOW .. Went & bought myself a neck harness to acompany myself with the harp WHILE I play this on the old Fender 12 string.. My “party” cred just went up 50%. Star Harmonica player after just two u-tube free lessons! It honestly sounds like I’m a ‘musician’.

    Hi Jerry,
    I’m so glad that you are giving blues guitar lessons, and especially Clapton’s songs!
    When will the songs below be available by you? Is it being sold as a package or each track separately? I hope it is a package deal.
    The full list will be: Before You Accuse Me; Ramblin’ On My Mind; Key To The Highway; Kind Hearted Woman; Outside Woman Blues; San Francisco Bay Blues; Sunshine of Your Love.
    Best regards,
    Stephen.

      Hi Stephen,

      Right now I had planned to make them available individually because I didn’t want you to have to wait for the full package to be completed. One of them will be free (I haven’t decided which one yet).

    I’m right along with all the other comments about the wonderful pieces through the years I have learned, and added to my portfolio.
    Thank you to all of you, Nick, Mike and Jerry.
    Many more songs to learn.

    Hi Jerry.
    You are indeed a skilled guitarist and teacher. During the years i have benefit from your participance at Mikes website. I love Clapton and has a few lesson from elsewhere. Look forward to see lessons from your hand. How many songs for a set are you planning and which songs has you planned to include and to what price? I know for sure that you put a great work in these lessons but i hate to buy one song and then later discus with myself whether i should buy a set with songs included that i already have. I welcome these songs from Clapton very much, especially because they often include finger-style parts as well as more rhythmic parts.
    The best wishes for your website. Look forward to follow.
    Best regards
    Allan

      Hi Allan,

      Most of the songs will include fingerstyle parts including thei one. I think the only two that won’t are Sunshine of Your Love and San Francisco Bat Blues.

      The full list will be: Before You Accuse Me; Ramblin’ On My Mind; Key To The Highway; Kind Hearted Woman; Outside Woman Blues; San Francisco Bay Blues; Sunshine of Your Love.

      If the lessons are popular I’ll add Driftin’.

    I have followed Mike Herbert from almost his beginning on the internet. Thanks to both of you for all the help. I have purchased a number of downloads in the previous years, but not so much currently. Still love seeing you in my in box.
