James Taylor – Suite For 20G
Learn how to play James Taylor – Suite For 20G note-for-note on guitar.
Difficulty level: Advanced
Barre chords: Yes
Thumb over chords: Yes (optional)
Playing Style: Fingerpicked
Tuning: Standard
The lesson is broken into 3 parts – one part per song section. Parts one and two are taught as played by JT on the album version. On part 3 (the funky part with horns), we can’t hear what the acoustic guitar is playing, so I’ve made an arrangement in the style of JT to allow solo guitar players to play the whole song with just an acoustic guitar accompaniment.
The complete file contains 3 lesson videos, 3 performance play thru videos, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 541 Mb containing all the lesson content.

You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.
The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.
They will download as Zip files. If you don’t have a Zip program on your PC you’ll need to install one to open the file. I use Zipeg which you can get free, here.
If you want to download to an iPad or iPhone you’ll need an app to do so, please read here to know more about it.

Simply wonderful! I never thought it would be possible to play James’s music with such a high level of precision but the clarity of your teaching Jerry makes absolutely every bar of the music (no matter how challenging) accessible.
Furthermore, you’ve made songs (if you could really call it a song) like Suite for 20g, which are less well known but much appreciated by JT devotees, available.
Jerry, your website is an absolute treasure, thank you.

Jerry, there is no example video for this offering. On purpose or just not uploaded yet?
