Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live

The psychedelic sound was not confined to the West Coast of California. Across the Atlantic, Donovan Leitch, who had already released two folk albums, became one of the first London musicians to adopt the sound and join the Flower Power brigade.

His first recording with an electric guitar was *Season Of The Witch*, and although the ripples were not as big as the reaction to Dylan going electric, the times certainly were changing. This is really just a two-chord jam with almost improvised lyrics and the lesson talks about creating strumming patterns, transposing a chord progression to other keys, thoughts on lead playing using the Pentatonic Minor scale, and even includes a Jam Along segment.

Hope you enjoy this

Cheers

Matt

Ah ha! So the Britt psychodelic is Donovan... thought so (normally, I don't have a clue)! I thought it might have been Sunshine Superman but I'll take what I can get here... thanks! ;-)

Hey, glad to see some Donovan stuff finally made it up here, but if you'll allow me to get all nationalistic for a mo... there were plenty of references to him being an English musician, but...

...he wasn't / isn't... he's Scottish, from Glasgow. - just like Berty bhoy (Bert Jansch). Two of my cities main musical prides, in my eyes (or ears) anyway.

PS John Renbourn is playing the Renfrew Ferry in April - can't wait!!!

You know how it is Carpet, if he's good at something he's British, if he's crap, he's Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish!! Unless he's Crap and English, then he's British.

So when Andy Murray wins Wimbledon, he'll be well and truly British! ;-)
