Great Lesson. You said to let you know what you could do next. Joe Gore does a great accoustic version of "Wichita Lineman" Here is the YouTube Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrTfUyWYIDQ

My husband and I really enjoy the way you break these songs down. You're an amazing teacher. Do you ever teach very young kids?

Hey Teri, thanks so much for the positive feedback, I'm so glad you and your husband are enjoying these resources together. As for kids, I use to teach a ton of kids guitar/ukulele lessons, but few years ago I decided to focus on YouTube/Patreon full-time. I do miss teaching 1 on 1 and also group classes, so I'll make a post here if I decide to offer any live learning opportunities.

You’re Sound on this is maybe like a neck pu/w a bit of gain/distortion ?

Beautiful lesson. Please also send a lesson of the song itself. Thus with the solo it will be perfect as usual.

Thanks so much. George certainly had an incredible knack for writing memorable melodies.

Hey Yair, thanks for the suggestion. I completed that lesson and posted a link above. Enjoy! -Rob

GREATt fun! To quote Mr Harrison "Ive got blisters on my fingers!" Bending all those strings on my acoustic is a killer. But well worth learning this iconic Beatles tune Thanks
