thank you for all the lessons ( keep them coming ! )
Ever since mr. Campilongo made his lessons available through the net, and not snail mail, i can confidently say that i've been steadily becoming a better guitarist. Apart from being eclectic in his selection of material ( i never thought i could find a lesson on "Bryant's Bounce" for instance ), mr Campilongo's approach has really made clear to me how things "work" musicaly, making it easier to incorporate the acquired "riffage",if i may, in a different musical context... Oh and it is such a rewarding process...

One thing ..if there is ever an error on a lesson, like if a fret 6 should be a fret 9, feel free to post it here. I hope it rarely happens but that's what this Forum is about.
Again, thanks for ordering my lessons -All the best -Jim
I have learned more in the past couple
of years since taking your lessons,then in
my eighteen years of playing music all together.
I really loved your chord melody version of smoke gets in your eyes-A+
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge.
Also, Jim: thanks for being a good guy and opening up the discussion to errors. I spotted one somewhere, but I've gotten so much out of your lessons that I didn't want to be Mr. Nerdly Snivels and go all picayune on you.
I'll go through them tomorrow and see if I can find what I'm talking about. Off the top of my head though, I think your guitar is a half step off in Sleepwalk (I can't remember in which direction). It's not a big deal, but I noticed when I switched to the other lessons, I had to retune.
Hmm. Yup. Feeling nit-picky. For god's sake, don't go re-recording the whole thing, or I'll have to start wearing pocket protectors or something.
(by the way: nice to hear the traffic noise through your open window...)
greetings from germany!
Any plans to post "Round Midnight"? I watched the interview you did with Sandecore and you moved into the opening riff while chatting with Justin. I did a nice double take.
Love to hear/buy some jazz standards.
BTW: I enjoyed the show on Monday and thanks for signing those two gig posters.
In the second solo, the third diagram, I'm hearing it as notes g, f# and f so I think the 6, indicating fret 6, should be a 7. Also... the 8th diagram for the same second solo, has no fret indicator which implies a 6 from the previous diagram but I'm hearing the note as an e which should make the fret indicator a 7, not a 6.
So... if I'm right, can I get an Orange Tele!!! Can I huh!?!
The best part of the Country G lick lesson (so far as I'm up to the third solo) is that you've included the "cool, how the heck is that done" stuff. I've picked apart Folsom Prison Blues and it sounds like some trickster stuff here and there. The Country G lesson is filling in some of the blanks.
All the best -Jim

You mentioned that on the Ricky and Lucy D6 chord you used the ring finger. So... do you pick the first two strings and use the ring finger on the third string? On those, with my right hand, I find myself using the middle finger for the middle string, and the ring finger and pick for the other two respectively . I know there are no solid rules here, I'm just curious on what you think works best.
Thanks.
single notes- plastic pick
doublestops- middle & ring
three note triad - plastic pick, middle & ring
four note chord - plastic pick, middle & ring & little finger
Just wondering- you mention a voice leading lesson somewhere in there, but I didn't see one titled as such? Also, I'd love to see "Heaven Is Creepy" offered...just sayin'...
Thanks again Jim! Can't wait to put the "Pepper" pieces together and get another lesson!
-J Howell
I'm glad you are enjoying Pepper.. Your request inspired me to start playing the song "live" again.
I'll take a look at "Heaven is Creepy" ... I think it might be a good lesson. I appreciate all your kindness and support.
All the best -Jim
Tu as raison, ce morceau est vraiment génial!!
A bientôt
Thanks again, Jim- not only is that song pretty high in the running for my favorite song ever, but the lesson was about as great as could be- clear, enlightening, encouraging, but probably most importantly, inspiring. Can't wait to get more. Seriously, even after two years of college-level instruction, I have to say that was probably the best lesson I think I've ever had. Keep up the good work!
...and "Heaven Is Creepy"...yes, please! Hope all's well with you!
