Hi Everyone,

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

The Streets Of Laredo, also known as Cowboy’s Lament, is an early ballad about life in the Old West. There are a few very popular themes for storylines in these songs and this one follows the “young cowboy, done wrong, dying before his time”, theme. This lesson starts with a ‘Work It Out’ approach and some ear training exercises to figure out the chord progression and melody, then gets into a couple of ways to create instrumental arrangements, continues with looking at it in a few different keys, and concludes with a short sing along.

Wanna know what a geek is? A geek is a guy like me, who, when he heard Neil play a snippet of this in the news video last week, thought it was going to be the old British sea shanty "Spanish Ladies." It's exactly the same melody, so in effect I was right, but still. That's what I thought of first. Geek.
