    Your intro is so much easier to play than I’ve seen on some of the official tabs out there. Thanks! I think they had a stretch from the third to the seventh fret which I just couldn’t do. Now I can play the intro and go into the song.

      Sweet.
      They’re all a compromise because the original intro was played in an altered tuning, but I’m glad it works for you this way.

    Very moving piece about The Boxer. The actor Leonard Nimoy who played Dr. Spock (in Star Trek) listened to it as he passed away.
    As usual amazing lesson Jerry. Not playing much these days as my thumbs are acting up (osteoarthritis)-but looking forward to more stuff!!

    Hi Jerry, another great video and another slightly odd question from me.

    When i get up to full speed on this i tend to lose any sense of pulse/rhythm in relation to where the beat is. Would you say you put an emphasis on and exaggerate the bass notes to push the beat of the song? I know most of these things are second nature but im just noticing its getting a little muddled when i pay at the tracks speed.

    thanks!

      Hi Dan
      You need the pulse of the music internalised. Foot tapping on the bass notes helps with that, but that assumes you can already feel the beat and just need to solidify it. If you need help getting to that point, play along with a metronome or online drum machine. Start slowly and gradually raise the BPM until you can play in rhythm at full speed.

    This lesson is simply amazing. It couldn’t be more accurate to the actual album version. I am happy with this purchase and look forward to the other.Jerry does an amazing job taking a complicated song and transforming it into something anyone could play.
