I few years ago Mike had done several lessons covering Boston songs. Now I can only see More than a Feeling. Is there any way to get access to some of the other Boston songs that were available before?

Hey there - about a year ago, there was a number of song licenses that were unable to be renewed with their respective publishing companies, and unfortunately, that included a large chunk of Boston songs. I'm sorry to say, but it is unlikely that those songs will return to the site.

Luckily, we still have More Than A Feeling, and GT is still committed to adding more great songs weekly.

Appreciate the great work Mike even though those lessons didn't last. I had planned to go through more of those as well. The Boston songs make for great intermediate lessons. The playing is structured and melodic unlike much of the random pentatonic noodling that occurs on so many songs (and is often hard to commit to memory).

Thanks for the kind words! And I couldn't agree more with you - perfect intermediate level songs with plenty of lead structure!!

Keep rockin!

Don't get me wrong- I love Boston..

but their songs are absolutely perfect.. there is not one element of 'raw'

[br]I have yet to find a band that replicates such a sound
