Hi Jerry, I’be bought a few of your lessons, they are always great. Have you considered doing any Guy Clark? I’d like a decent lesson for Dublin Blues and My Favourite Picture of You.
Regards
Tony

Dublin Blues has been requested and it’s on the list.
I’ll add My Favourite Picture of You

I’ve been playing just over three years and your tutorials are the best I have ever found. I really enjoyed the Ripple tutorial and would love to see some more Grateful Dead songs. Some of my favorites include Scarlet Begonias, Touch of Grey, They Love Each Other, Friend of the Devil and Deal to name a few. Not too picky. Thanks for the lessons!

Thanks Lisa. I will get to some more Dead acoustic songs in the future, including some of the ones you mention.
