This is an arrangement for acoustic guitar of the piano part on the original recording.

The preview video contains the introduction taken from the complete lesson for the song Bridge Over Troubled Water.

The complete file contains 4 lesson videos, (one per section of the song) 4  performance play thru videos, full tabs, chords and lyrics. You’ll receive a link to download the lesson which will download as a zip file of 588 Mb containing all the lesson content.

You’ll receive at least two videos per song, one lesson and one performance-standard play-through. You’ll receive the chords/lyrics and guitar tabs as PDF files.

The videos are mp4 format and should play on PC’s, Macs and most mobile devices.

They will download as Zip files. If you don’t have a Zip program on your PC you’ll need to install one to open the file. I use Zipeg which you can get free, here.

If you want to download to an iPad or iPhone you’ll need an app to do so, please read here to know more about it.

    Your intro’s got me hooked! I was trying to work it out on my own, it’s such a sumptuous tune. Got our 45th school reunion on Sat and a friend and I are the band, we’ve got about 60 songs more or less down but not this one (yet!) It’s got a lot of possibilities for passing chords.
    I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I love your interpretations, your precision, your tone.
    Regards,
    David
