    Hey matey, awesome tutorials!
    Same issue as everybody above. There seems to be an issue on the download of joni_both_sides_now.zip

    Would you be able to send me the chords and tabs PDF? Can always just use the youtube video here but the tabs always make things go a lot smoother.

    Thanks once again

      Hi Thomas
      There really isn’t an issue. It’s been downloaded thousands of times. What device are you using?

    Hi Jerry, got the link but was unable to download the tutorial… I got this message in my browser

    The secure download manager ran into a problem that it couldn’t handle, and is unable to process your download request. Please contact the site administrator.

    Please tell the site administrator the problem was due to the following reason:
    The download link (see browser address bar) couldn’t be found in the wp_eStore database.

    Any help with this would be appreciated, love your work BTW…

    This is truely amazing. I still play the guitar but just wish I was forty years younger when I discovered your tutorial. It’s very well done. Saw Joni during the sixties several times. She played the Riverboat, Mariposa folk festivals. It was a magic era. Thank you very much for your kindness. Ron Jones.

      You’re welcome Ron. My uncle was also at the Mariposa Festival. 1966 I think.

    Hi – thanks for the lesson but need to see you play the whole thing thru – put my email address in for download but it did not work

      Hi Judith. I just tested it with your email address and it works as far as the website’s concerned. That means the email has been sent to you. If you don’t have it (and it’s not in the spam folder either) then your email provider has rejected it. That’s very rare and very annoying. Try a different email address.

    Thanks Jerry, superb lesson (and for free!).

    Almost got half a set of Joni Mitchell / Bob Dylan DADF#AD tunes now without having to change the tuning back to normal – Sounds like a few Led Zeppelin “That’s The Way” chords in there too?

      Hi

      Could you put up a list of Joni/Bob Dylan songs in open D please……yes it would be great to have a few without changing the tuning. Thanks.

        We’re working on a search function to allow you to sort lessons by different tunings, but for now here are some off the top of my head:
        Joni – Conversation, California, Cactus Tree, Big Yellow Taxi
        Jackson Browne – I’m Alive
        Ralph McTell – Genesis 1:20
        John Martyn – Fairytale Lullaby
        Dylan – Corrina Corrina, Simple Twist of Fate, Meet Me In The Morning, You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome, Shelter From The Storm
        Cat Stevens – Rubylove
        Donovan – Colours

    HI Jerry :) Thanks so much for your wonderful lesson of ‘Both Sides Now.’ I put in my email address but have not received the tabs. Is it an automatic send or is it something I have to wait for you to approve? Thanks again!! :)
