LESSON SUGGESTIONS FOR JIM STICKY

Hi Jim,
I was just browsing the lesson section, and am quite disappointed not to find "Mozart Woulda Played A Tele". Is this a song you plan on transcribing at some point, and would you care to give any insight into what you might put together for 2014?

Thanks for reading. I can't wait to get a hold of "Dream Dictionary".

PS: "Heavy" is a masterpiece! Transcribe it all! ;)

    Hi Nerd-
    Glad you like "Heavy" and "Mozart...".
    Usually I wait for more then one request and I try to wait for "popular demand". But I have some free time right now, I'll see what I can do- and thanks so much for asking. I really appreciate your interest.
    Happy Holidays!
    -Jim

    Hi there....... 100% agree, Heavy is a masterpiece!

    What about a acoustic lesson? Maybe "Suppose"?

    Saludos y feliz año nuevo!

    Huckleberry would be a good one

    Thanks for the reply, Jim. Happy Holidays to you as well!

    As far as Campy tunes go, I'd love to see "Mozart.." "Bustin' Up", "Menace", and "Billy's Bird". "Mozart..." is by far my number 1, though.

    I hope everyone is having a great holiday, and finding time for practicing!

    Thanks guys- I'll be getting to work on these as soon as possible.

    I'm still hoping for a Little Willies lesson of some type. I expect most of us that play out are playing behind a singer. I learn a lot from the instrumentals, but tastefully backing up a singer is it's own art and Jim does it very well.

    Please do not forget "Bought Some Swampland in Florida" from American Hips!

    I just finished "Suppose" and the Right Hand Man should have it up for download in a day or two. I'll try to get to some of these other requests too.

    Thanks for the suggestions. All the best- Jim

    I just finished transcribing "I Gotta Get Drunk" by the Willies and the Right Hand Man should have it up for download in a day or two.

    Happy New Year!

    "Suppose" Lesson:

    By popular demand! A Note for Note transcription of Jim's solo acoustic debut on "Dream Dictionary". Americana doublestops, arpeggios, pull offs, hammer ons and more are are clearly explained so the student can internalize the song and play it easily. A nice song to add to the repertoire.

    I Gotta Get Drunk Lesson - Little Willies *Note for Note*:

    A Note for Note transcription from the hit track from the Little Willies debut record. Triple stops, chicken picking', behind the nut bending and other surprisingly demented country concepts played in that unique Little Willies style. Transcribed carefully- taught slowly.

    Couldn't resist, purchased both. Do I ever need the taught slowly part! Thank you Jim.

    Thanks Jim! I've been wanting a Little Willies lesson for a while, and this will be a great one. I need to recover a bit from Christmas spending but I'll be buying this lesson soon.
  • NerdDiamondNerdDiamond
    If you're going to continue including Little Willies songs, may I recommend "Fist City" as a lesson? Love the solo, and tasty rhythm section!
  • JimCampilongoJimCampilongo
    Yes! "Fist City" would make a good lesson. Most things are cancelled because of the snowstorm, I'll see if I can get to it.
    Thanks for asking and I appreciate the interest.
    All the best- Jim

    Thank you very much for the "I Gotta Get Drunk" lesson which I had always hoped for!
    Your version(s) of "Folsom Prison Blues" would be a great lesson, sure enough. Just a suggestion.

    Your studio version of "Folsom" is fantastic as are your live versions ...
  • TelecasterTelecaster
    I agree, "Folsom Prison Blues" would make a great lesson!
  • jigonzavjigonzav

    Saludos

    + 1 for "Folson..." and +++1 for "Fist City". In my mind, at least, it sounds like there's lots of applicable things to learn, and apply. Plus the song is just a great one. The live version on YouTube from Austin is killer, too. Thanks for all the hard work you're putting in, Jim!
  • jigonzavjigonzav
    Mabye "Nellie Bly" Lesson?................it is one of my all time favourite Campy song!

    Saludos

  • tonywtonyw
    I must second Swampland.
  • clydeclyde
    Definitely +1 for "Folsom"
  • JimCampilongoJimCampilongo
    Thank you guys- I think about these requests every day.
  • JimCampilongoJimCampilongo
    By the way - for whoever is interested "Michelle" is now back for download...

    Michelle Note for Note from American Hips - A moody interpretation of the Beatles classic that employs open string licks, harmonics, sixths, thirds and other motifs to create melodic ambience. Insights into using partial chords and essential chord tones to establish harmony instead of well worn popular guitar grips. Fun and easy!

    I'd like to see a "Pie Party" lesson -- the only place I've ever heard it was at an SF show a year or so back, but it made an impression. Glad I'll have it on CD in a few days.

    Oops...I should have seen that it was already available. Sorry about that.
  • JordanJordan
    By the way, nice one on the "Michelle" lesson, Jim. I've loved your take on it for years.
  • JimCampilongoJimCampilongo
    Thank you gentlemen!

    Jim, any chance of a Goodbye Pork Pie Hat lesson? It sounded beautiful when you played it on the Compared To What podcast.
