Hi Everyone,

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

This song is an example of how a writer can take a very simple chord progression and dress it up with alternate chord voicings, some basic picking embellishments, and interesting vocal harmonies, to create a tune that appears to have much more than its parts. The progression is straightforward but the picking adds a few levels of difficulty, depending on your fingerpicking experience of course.

Enjoy this level 6 lesson!

Wow. These guys are really good. I now know what I will be doing for several hours this weekend. Will there be an open mic session at the guitar camp? If so, we should do this song.

Great song Neil

There's a similar sound to Fleetwood Mac in the acoustic finger-picking, that might be my ears only !!!

Thanks for the lesson another for the extensive ... good intention.... list !!

What great song! I just love the stripped-down simpleness and clean precision with which this song is performed. One guitar and 3 part harmony... lovely. I'm sure this is going to be a another great lesson.

This is pretty great. Dawes with John Fogerty on last night's Letterman. Probably my favorite CCR song (would make a good lesson, I think).

Dawes is really making the rounds...lol Like I mentioned before, when I went to see Jackson Browne a few months ago, they played a few songs with him as well. I really like them, but I just have to mention that the drummer cracks me up with his facial expressions.... He just flat gets into the music....:woohoo:

I stumbled across their cover of "Jealous Guy" when I was learning it and was blown away!!
