Hi everyone!
Today's Target and Pay Per Lesson release is now live, Sunshine by Jonathon Edwards.
In 1971, Jonathon Edwards released Sunshine on his self-titled debut album. The song featured some quick,
percussive strumming with very catchy lyrics and rhythms.
This lesson includes a little ear training puzzle, then breaks down the progression and strumming technique.
It also includes left hand muting to create the percussive effect.
There is a slowed down metronome section as well as a short look at the little tag that ends the song.
Enjoy this level 5 lesson!

Neil,
Thanks for the great lesson. Jonathan Edwards has been one of my favorites since his 1971 debut. Believe it or not, I used to be able to sing some of his songs, in his key. Those days are gone. He was pretty big on the east coast. I saw him in 1973 with Stuart Shulman, his bass/violin player. It was amazing how much sound those two could put out. Edward's harmonica playing is awesome. I also saw him about two years ago, he still has that fabulous voice. You may have inspired me to dust off some of his old stuff for busking.
Thanks again.

Thanks for this lesson Neil!
I'm a big fan of JE and Bill he still does a lot of shows here on the east coast. My wife got me front row tickets for my 50th a couple of years ago and we ended up staying at an inn nearby by with one of Jonathan's close friends who helps him out at concerts. We've become friends and even got to see Jonathan performing at her house last year. He's a great guy and always has time to talk. Great guitar and harmonica player and has a great singing voice to this day.
His first album is one of my favorites and has my favorite song by him, "Sometimes". I'd love to see a lesson for that.
He's definitely worth the deeper dive for those who wonder about his one hit.

I'll also give you a mini liesson on it. 3 chords that are going to surprise you. That's really cool that you got to meet him.
