Hi Everyone,

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

I Wonder As I Wander is based in American folk tradition and was first collected by John Jacob Niles in 1933. The melancholy melody makes a great base for a solo guitar arrangement, and lends itself well to improvising as well. This arrangement is similar to the way I played it on my album /A Christmas Collection./ It is in 3/4 time and includes 2 verses with different feels. It includes some advanced right-hand techniques as well as thoughts on playing it with feeling.

Enjoy this Level 7 lesson.

What a lesson. Besides being a beautiful tune, the information density in the lesson is very high.

If you think you've seen Neil play the most "mellow" or "reflective" tunes, think again ... seems to me that this is even more so, and ... IT IS A LESSON !

Let me suggest you watch the very last section, called "Moving On", even before the first sections ... lots of motivation there for getting involved in this.

Come to think of it, "mellow" or "reflective" isn't strong enough ... "ethereal" maybe ? (Scrabble meets TG)

Thank you Neil,
This is a high quality lesson. Not a rare thing here at TG but sometimes I just need to write the feeling.
So much knowledge to assimilate,
Love it,
Abilio
