https://youtu.be/EPOVRe1agig January 14, 2022 I had a lot of fun with this week’s new lessons. Song For Juli is one that has intrigued me for almost 50 years since I first got Jesse Colin Young’s album by that name. It definitely got into heavy rotation on my turntable back then. I may have to do a ...

Wrapping up a loose end I left dangling a few years ago, we now have a lesson on Jesse Colin Young's Song For Juli . The lesson just goes over the guitar instrumental introduction, even though Jesse sings a verse at the end. https://youtu.be/tEtvTFFgiTk Aside from a career with The Youngbloods, Jess...

Hi Robert,

Welcome to TG and I am glad to hear you have enjoyed some lessons. I am not sure what else you have looked at but the lesson on The Star Of The County Down does something similar to Coventry Carol, as I recall.

Thanks for the message and welcome to TG. I generally do not put chords over words in lessons for a few reasons, which I may elaborate on tomorrow on the Weekly Update. One reason is that I believe it is really important to understand the chord progression, be able to hear the changes, and have that...
