Great lesson as always Jerry. Just wondering if you’re thinking of doing Tom’s, “Can’t help but wonder where I’m Bound” ?
Cheers

Hi, Jerry. Great tutorial as always.
The guitar break is a bit tricky but I have managed it. I did find it difficult to get the emphasis right on the particular notes to bring out the melody from the ‘general’ picking pattern (although it’s easy when you do get it after practice). If you do something similar you may think about providing some guidance on the melody.
Hope your move is going OK and have a good Christmas.

Hi Jerry. Can you explain the above. Do we need to purchase a second video/lesson for the guitar break?
Regards,
Ray

Hi Ray,
I recently bought this lesson from Jerry.
It has the break part included (which Tom sometimes plays as the intro as well).
So all is well and included.
Warm regards,
