    Thank you for the demo. his G chord fingering has had me baffled. It’s still kind of clumsy and I can’t make it sound right… are there only three fingers on the strings for his G chord?

      Hi Al,
      No in this song he has 4 fingers on the G chord. 320033 if that nomenclature makes sense to you.

        Thanks for the response Jerry. At age 70, I’ve grown up all around Prine but am thankfully now giving him his due. I am hooked and am ready to try your souvenirs lesson. But, with regard to JP g Chord on souvenirs; On the you tubes I watch of him, It appears he uses his thumb on 300033 then slides it to 2 in transition to his D chord. It’s difficult to see where the rest of the fingers are on his thumbed G chord. Anyway sign me up, please
        Al

          Yes, he does play that chord with thumb over. It’s simply a matter of preference and how you like to finger it. It’s the same chord. His thumb comes off the 6th string at the A7 chord.

          Just to mention it, the preview video on this page talks about how he plays that G chord at about the 1.00 mark.

            Thanks for your patient clarification. Bought the instructional video…resolved the “mystery”. End of questions. Now its a matter of practice, practice, practice.

    Great lesson. This is very helpful. Sure wish he would teach a Jimmie Dale Gillmore song called “Tonight, I think I’m gonna go down town”

    Hi John,

    When you buy any of my lessons you receive a zip file containing mp4 videos and PDF files. The videos are the lesson and performance of the songs, the PDFs are the tabs and chords.

    Yes you own them forever. If you ever lose them just email me for a replacement.

    If you’d like to test out what the format looks like, try out a free one first. The free ones are the same as the paid ones. There’s one for Sam Stone if your a John Prine fan. Use the search function to find it if you’re not sure where the free lessons are.

    Hope that helps
    Jerry
