Its a pleasure to take lessons from Jerry, what a natural!
Mike says
I was quite excited when James Taylor began offering lessons of the songs I’ve loved for so long on his website. While I still refer to them to watch how the man who wrote them, plays them, the inclusion of tabs, song sheets, and multiple videos with clear and precise explanations makes Jerry’s lessons preferable to even James’s. Jerry’s lessons are an incredible value.

Hi Jerry,
I came upon your homepage a while ago accidentally and I think your published songs-all I’ve seen- are super. Also what customers get for their money cannot be beaten! I’m not too hard-working in practice and still busy with “tears in heaven”, but I can play the lihtfoot song. I was stuck before with some teachers from the U.S. but you are far better…and besides I like “Brits”.The next song I will get is one of your James Taylor songs. Thank you!
