Jerry, thank you for your lessons. I’ve bought a number of them and I go back to them time and time again trying to improve each time. I love John Prine and am glad that you have lots of lessons on his music. One question I have though is on “In Spite Of Ourselves”, I noticed that on the tab that you show on your site as a sample of the lesson, for the intro, bar 3 is different than the one that you send out for download. Why is that? Was a correction made at some points? Which is correct? Which one is closest to the original? Thanks much for your help?
