Hi Jerry. I’ll be downloading Fields of Gold soon. She’s singing an octave above me I think. I think in your preview you say capo is on fret 7….usually with my big working man’s fingers I cant form chords too well up there…but with chord shapes in key of “D” I can manage the chords. Thanks for you ongoing work.

Hi Jerry,
I was just wondering if you have the tab for the instrumental guitar portion. That was my only disappointment that it wasn’t included in the tab and lesson.

James says
Hi Jerry thank you for all of your many wonderful lessons!….I would like to request another Eva Cassidy song if i may please entitled “Songbird”
I believe the lead-break in the middle was an overdub on the recording but i’m sure would sound just as good incorporated into the fingerpicking arrangement.
Thank you, James
Steve says
Here’s my vote for Eva’s version of “Over The Rainbow” please.
Mary says
Awesome Jerry! Love Eva’s artful music. Ditto Lee’s request.
Jerry says
Me too Mary. Her guitar accompaniments are always very inventive and subtle.
Lee says
Really impress me and do her version of “Over The Rainbow”

Thank you Jerry! That’s really sweet of you to teach this one. I second Danny’s request too.
Danny says
The preview looks good, fairly straight forward and playable. Much better than my own hybrid of Eva and Sting. I’ll buy it in the next couple of days. Glad to receive your continual updates. Regards, Danny
