Neil, in some of your lessons, you mention that you "have all your students learn this song."
What are the top 10 songs you want everyone to learn?

I can remember Neil recommending Blackbird by the Beatles as one song he mentions for a good fingerstyle learning song.
Any more guesses?
Maybe Dust in the wind by Kansas might be another.

I know for sure '''house of the rising sun'' and ''HALLELUJAH'',,,,,



That makes me also curious which song/lesson was ever the first one released here..

suggestion: Joni Mitchell ''big yellow taxi''

Good question. Neil mentions that he encourages all of his students to learn 'Fear The Reaper' by Blue Oyster Cult in his lesson on that song.

Speaking of 'Wild Horses'- I can't believe I've waited this long to check it out!

It is perfect imho! GREAT that you added a video to explain the chord solo, Neil. And I also like the way the tab is laid out for it. Very clean- just showing the melody notes with basic chords.

Check it out if you're new to chord soloing and want to give it a try.

I think Stairway to Heaven, and House of the rising sun may be two of his top ten as well.

Curious to hear what he says.
