Hi Everyone,
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live.
Carole King’s song, You’ve Got A Friend has been the most requested lesson here at TG for a long time. Of course, we are talking about James Taylor’s definitive version as heard on his album Mud Slide Slim And The Blue Horizon. Like most of James’ arrangements, this showcases his beautiful fingerpicking style at its best. The lesson goes over the chord progression and the specific way to play many of his embellishments but, as with most of his songs, the variations are endless and really need to be created or recreated every time the song is played. The student must already be comfortable with standard patterns and random altering of them, as well as random arpeggio patterns to get the most out of this lesson.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Actually there is a zoom in function on the camera!
However, the story is that I asked Neil if and when he would get to this song and then he said 'well you do it'! :ohmy: So I said, then I need to know how you would play it, hence the video, so yeah I définitely zoomed in! :laugh: But later I said to him that I'm quite sure that everyone at TG would rather see hím teach it, so he said, 'oh sure, no worries, I'll take care of it!' Phew!!!!! :ohmy: :laugh:
So yeah, it was of course great to see him playing it live!! :cheer:

Wow, and now your not even being sneaky about it. A real lesson AND the behind the scenes look. You probably prompted him into doing this. And now he's going to be sad because what will he do to tease us all for the NEXT 3 years? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Oh yeah, as always, Thank you Neil.
