Denise Judge says
HI Jerry, I am a 61 year o;d woman who always wanted to learn guitar but never had the time. I find your instructions are well communicated. I hope you can teach EVEN me to finger pick Duncan as I truly love this song. Unfortunately I’m not very computer literate either. I want to purchase this full lesson from you. I don’t know how to go about Paypal. Please advise me on how to buy through your site…also when there is zero as a price by one of your lessons is that really free?
David Rhodes says
Jerry, there are a few lessons for this song around the web, but this lesson (as always) is very precise and structured. The biggest problem I have in learning songs from the internet is that much time can be wasted checking and even correcting the lesson. With your lessons I haven’t needed to do that: The timings, tabs and music all agree. Yes, I have played the guitar for some years, but I can literally say that you have taught me to play properly. Thank you so much.
Jo says

Tim Jowers says
The way I see it,its worth 5 dollars to CORRECTLY play any song.If you took the time to properly show and explain what you are doing and most out there can pick up on it,you did good bro.If you make millions the way I see it…that’s your portion.Great job.

Hi Jerry
You are definitely the best guitar teacher of all time. I have all of your early courses and your clear, patient manner of explaining everything is second to none. How about a detailed course on Travis picking in your own inimitable style, linked and applied to well known songs-it would be a winner.
Brilliant-thanks -Ian
Yves says

Thanks for opening the bar, Jerry. There’s nothing like a good stiff drink of guitar. Especially when it’s coming from a pro like yourself. Love all that you do.
Jerry says
Great to have you with us Ozzy :)
