There are two lessons here. The first teaches Keith’s guitar part from the original version. The only differences are that he plays a 12-string and the lesson is taught on a 6-string, and he picks it with a flat pick and the lesson uses thumb and fingers. The second lesson is an optional fingerstyle instrumental verse that can be played in place of the instrumental verse on the original. It’s based on the melody of the song.

Hi Jerry,
I’ll buy”As Tears Go By” today.
One small suggestion – seeing a bit more of the play-through always
makes me want to buy, more than seeing the instruction about the individual measures.
The play-through sample always influences me more. Showing more of the play-through
might also be what others would be influenced by.
Best regards,
Philip
