Mike, your song lessons are fantastic - thank you!

A suggestion for all songs on GuitarTricks.com :

I'll use your great Wild Horses lesson (full version) as an example:

I love the way you have 3 separate "Performance" videos to practice against:

1. Full Performance [br]2. Single Guitar Performance[br]3. Jam Along (all guitars muted)

Having these choices makes it so much easier to learn.

My suggestion is this:

It would be great to have multiple Jam Along videos that mute one guitar part and not the other(s) - this being done for each guitar (#1, #2, etc.). So, again using your Wild Horses lesson as an example with 3 guitar parts:

Jam Along video #1: All guitars muted (as it is in the current lesson)[br]Jam Along video #2: Acoustic #1 muted (Acoustic #2 & Electric Guitar #3 audible)[br]Jam Along video #3: Acoustic #2 muted (Acoustic #1 & Electric Guitar #3 audible)[br]Jam Along video #4: Electric Guitar #3 muted (Acoustic #1 & Acoustic #2 audible)

Having these variations would allow the student to play each learned guitar in the full context of the rest of the song, with it sounding complete.

Any chance future lessons for all songs on GuitarTricks could offer these types of Jam Along video versions? Having these options would offer something unique and be very helpful to assess one's playing of a single guitar part in the context of the other parts.

Thanks again Mike for the great lessons!
