Hey Folks, A few Tom Petty songs are ones I have been meaning to get to for years but I kept getting sidetracked (very rare and almost unheard of for me!!). Happy to finally get to Wildflowers now, with another on the way soon. https://youtu.be/9EdTiRfpx-4 Many of Tom Petty's songs feature just a fe...

https://youtu.be/OsOgMe0Utu4 October 24, 2025 Jim Croce’s music started the Update today, as a nod toward tomorrow’s TG Live episode where I will be going over intros and riffs from some of his songs. It is at 11:00 AM Pacific time Saturday, October 25. If you catch this soon enough you can register...

Hey Gang,

I have been asked for years to arrange I'll Be Back as a solo, which I have a version of on my album A Beatles Collection from many years ago. It was a bit rough and not well thought out. I have a much better version now that will become a lesson soon.

For too long the only songs of his we have had were Taxi and Cat's In The Cradle. We are certainly looking to add even more and would love anybody's sugg...

Hey Anton,

Great to hear from you again! Blackbird and If You Could Read My Mind are songs I encourage every student to work on.

Keep it up-

Hey Folks, As I was revisiting Jim Croce songs this week another of my favorite songwriters of the 70s came back up. hI figured it was time to more Harry Chapin songs to the TG Library so now we have Flowers Are Red . https://youtu.be/UmmWXUo1rdI Flowers Are Red was one of the most popular songs on ...

https://youtu.be/LvboheODFow October 10, 2025 This week I spent a bit of time revisiting my Jim Croce albums. He was a big influence on me and I spent countless hours figuring out all his songs as each album was released. I even found myself singing most of them, although certainly not with the grea...
