Hey Neil, I was wondering if you will ever cover these two songs. Both are great but nobody breaks it down like you do. Also how would you rate them on a scale of one to ten. I enjoy your site please find time to video these songs.
Hey Boatman, welcome to the program!! We're glad to have you with us!! If you wouldn't mind please go over to the Please Introduce Yourself thread and tell us a little about yourself! Where you live, what your musical interests are and where you are on you journey to learn this incredible instrument- the guitar!
Almost without fail, the first thing every new TARGET member does is request their favorite song from Neil. And most of the songs requested are good ones but there are two critieria for having Neil do a song study for your song.
First, Neil must like the song. Don't request Tom Petty for example. I'll leave it at that! lol!
Second, the songs Neil selects must have real teaching value. If we can't learn something new from the song, usually a technique or progression, there is no chance the song will be chosen.
I don't want to discourage you further but this is month 5 of the TARGET program and there have been literally hundreds of requests for songs. Neil does about 3-5 full song studies every month so the odds aren't very good.
There is a thread under TARGET called Request a Lesson. This is the place to post your song request. On top of full song studies Neil does TARGET Shorts and Campfire Tunes. If he likes your song you may have a better chance there!
Good luck and Happy Playin'! :cheer:

Well I guess what your saying. But, from watching the TG liv, Neil likes songs for guitar soloists and those songs are nothing but acoustic guitar. Even guitar Bob on You Tube plays Pigs on the Wing by Pink Floyd and calls it a campfire song. So hes got some competition. lol. Both are great songs I hope he gets a chance to show every member of TG how to brek it down and play it correctly.

Being a huge Pink Floyd fan myself, I'd be happy if he put the entire PF catalog on TARGET but that ain't going to happen. And I believe Neil is a big PF fan too.
One other thought, be sure to join us for the next TG Live! which I think is this Saturday. You'll have to check the time. If Neil gets a break in the questions, Matt will often mention song requests from those members who ask about them during the live session. This is also a great time to get a little hint of what's upcoming.
Cheers! :cheer:
