Hello friends,

Earlier in the week I got a message from your fellow patron PJ, who wanted some incite on how to play this amazing acoustic blues tune "House of Mercy" by Sarah Jarosz. I immediately got hooked on the song and decided to create a version suitable for solo performance on the guitar. Attached you will find my chord sheet and my tablature for the tunes bluesy riffs and strumming patterns. I'm leaving tomorrow for a Patreon conference in LA, where hopefully I'll pick up some new tricks that will allow me to serve you all better. While I'm there, I'll try my best to shoot a mini-lesson breaking down my approach to "House of Mercy." In the meantime, check out the song, and see if you can get some of it down on your own. Have fun! -Rob

P.S. A revised and more complete tab will also be added.

Oh I know, every time I start learning a song in this tuning I immediately get a spark of creative inspiration. So much fun!

I don't see the links on the app. I now have better contact with Patreon, and requested they fix this. Apparently there are a bunch of really awesome updates coming!
