TARGET Members will have any Charts, TAB, and Guitar Pro Files
I had planned on whipping out a TARGET Short for this great song by Gregg Allman, but as I got into it, it got a little more detailed than I had planned. It turned into a full TARGET lesson with all the usual segments and a few bonus ones. Thanks to everybody's support regarding the Sing-A-Long segments, there is one here. I also decided to use the song as an intro to improvising a lead over a simple chord progression. There is a segment talking about pentatonic scales, as well as a Jam-A-Long. There also are a few charts on scales.
The high res version of part 3 appears to be missing.

Okay, Now I get it why you rather not sing, but listen...It helps a lot to see you changing the cords along with the song, so if you do not like to sing, get someone to sing for you..please:)

This song is the very reason why, after 35 yrs, and cutting off a finger or two in a table saw, that I decided to try acoustic guitar again. Any one of the cords you've taught here, simply sound incredible coming from an instrument like a guitar. When they are all put together in melody, its great.
I've got a couple of fingers that no longer pay attention to me, but I'm not a quitter.
Thanks Neil.

One of my favorite groups as a kid, and a great song to try. Being somewhere between beginner and intermediate, I'm getting it with some repetition. I'm finding out that I really need work on strumming, and timing, just counting. Sounds simple enough, but...Amazed at how well Neil breaks down the timing of the various parts. I have some funny notes on my worksheet!

Great song. I gotta tell ya, as an intermediate player, I mulled over this Target program for months. I finally subscribed and just sitting here each night practicing brings back so much that I thought I forgot. It's coming back easier than I thought. Tis is the "kick in the pants" I needed lol.

I am taking weekly lessons along with this web site. We started going down this road with the cord / Rhythms/ Lead structure of Melissa. I remember you had it on the site- Awesome, backed up to my lessons perfectly. I REALLY REALLY appreciate your detail and explanation of everything. I think this is one of your best lesson plans. Would like to see another Allman Brothers song on TG if you have the time one of these days.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH:-*
