Hi Everyone,

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

Please Don’t Say You Love Me is the second single from a new upcoming English artist, singer and songwriter, Gabrielle Aplin. It features a very common IV-I-VI-V chord progression in the key of G and includes a simple travis picking pattern. The challenge in this song lies within the tempo, which is quite fast. It also requires changing from one fingerpicking-pattern to another.

Enjoy this level 3 lesson!

Hi Vanessa!

You are cranking out some really good songs! I look forward to each week to see what have as your Lesson!

Lisa

I'm with you Lisa; whole-heartedly. I don't have much time to watch and work on lessons at the moment, but I've been LOVING all of the lessons you put up Nessa. I've really been looking forward to them and enjoying them in a major way.

It's also been good to get some cool songs that we can get down in a relatively short time while still working on a bunch of skills.

I love that this one uses a primary chord shape that you're sliding around and the energy in this song. I like the slight unusual chords in there too.

Getting this up to speed. Haha! Now THAT may take a little while.

As always, your eye for detail, your enthusiasm which is contagious and the clear way you've explained this is just awesome.

Your play through is a lot of fun (especially as this could be a sad song) and just GREAT! Your performance brought a big smile to my face.

Another FANTASTIC lesson Nessa. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work.

Thanks!

Shel

Thanks so much sweet ladies!

Lisa: So very glad you're enjoying those :cheer: , sure hope I can live up to it! :ohmy:

Michele: Gosh......Shel! Absolutely LOVED reading your comment!! :cheer: You never ever fail to make me smile REALLY BIG!!!!! :woohoo: And now get it up to speed woman!

When I first saw this lesson, I thought, 'Uh-oh, A GIRL SONG'. But who can resist that great Nessa smile in the lesson invitation? I have to admit that watching the lesson and then playing it was kind of fun for me. Also, I'm feeling kind of pretty now too. :laugh: :silly: :woohoo: :laugh:

Ooooh Bill! Don't teeeease us like that.

Now I'm desperate to see you playing this song and looking all preeeeeeeddy.


Don't worry too much,. While I've been hoping to develop a deeper voice, playing all of these boy songs hasn't put hair on my chest. So I'm guessing that playing girl songs won't put boobs on yours. (It certainly hasn't enhanced mine any. )

But...pretty I gotta see.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I gotta see that too! :woohoo: And what a sweet comment Bill!

But seriously, guys, didn't we want more femalesongs on the site??? :dry:

And I mean, what in the world are we, females (yes, we're the minority here), doing here at TG then?? 90% are male-songs.... :blink: ......i never ever think, when a lesson comes out, 'uh-oh a MALE SONG'! :ohmy: (Indeed, still no hair on my chest! )

Looks like the mantle falls to you, Nessa, to make TG more 'chick-friendly'. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We do need more female artists represented on the site.

Here are a few of my favorites;

Lucinda Williams
Bonnie Raitt
Shawn Colvin
Patty Griffin
Gillian Welch

Add Janis Ian, Linda Ronstadt, and Carole King to the list (if you're making one).

If you boys are making lists, how about specifying the songs you'd like to learn too. . Or at least ones that you think would make good lessons.

Just a suggestion.
