Once again... frustrated by incomplete lessons! Why not have the tab for the lead in IF NOT FOR YOU?
Neil has three videos of him playing the song simultaneously... 1 playing chords, 1 playing slide and 1 playing lead. So where's the lead tab?

The lesson on If Not For You focused on a simple strumming song that is a good introduction to slide playing. The Play Through simply included an instrumental version of the melody rather than me singing it. Every lesson cannot be a complete course in guitaristry. Most lessons have specific techniques that are addressed because they are important to overall guitar skills. As a Target member you have access to many lessons that will help you develop the skills to play a melody as simple as If Not For You. It's kind of a 'Big Picture' thing, and part of the overall philosophy that we teach musicianship using songs as the path, not the goal.
