| The Beatles - Dear Prudence |
The main guitar part is played in Dropped D Tuning (DADGBE) and John keeps a steady bass pattern going that plays the 5th string as the first bass note in each measure, alternating 5-4-6-4. The progression cycles through 4 measures where the 1st bass note goes from A to C to B to Bb. The names of the chords get a little cumbersome here but it is fine to think of it all as a D chord with changing bass notes.

| Dave Mathews - Grave Digger |
When Dave Matthews decided to �go solo�, he put out his first non-band album in 2003, Some Devil. It was still full of a lot of friends and they released *Gravedigger *as the first single. It has become one of Dave�s best-known songs, in spite of its dark overtones and mysterious mood. It uses some unusual, but relatively easy chords but the strumming is somewhat free form. The lesson mostly focuses on strumming with a light muting technique, counting eighth notes carefully, and hammer-ons to help color the overall sound

| The Kinks Package |
The Kinks were one of the British pioneers in the new sounds that were developing in the 60s. Led by songwriter Ray Davies and his brother Dave, they were a band with many different styles, ranging from pre-punk to acoustic ballads, with even a touch of jazz at times. This pack includes short lessons on two of their power chord/riff style songs, as well as extended lessons on three of their more complex tunes.

| The Grateful Dead - Teddy Bears Picnic |
A song Neil started playing many years before he had kids but became a big hit with them as they started school is Teddy Bears Picnic. It was written in the 1930s and recorded by many people over the years, most notably nowadays by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman on their album Not For Kids Only. This Target Campfire lesson goes over a traditional arrangement as well as a few thoughts on Jerry and Dave�s version.

| The Beatles - Julia |
In 1968 the Beatles learned a bit about fingerpicking from Donovan while they were in India for a short time. This resulted in a much more refined guitar sound for a few songs on the �White Album�, including John Lennon�s *Julia*. This lesson uses John�s repetitive alternating bass fingerpicking pattern with some unusual chord voicings, and shows exactly how he played the original, including a capo at the second fret.

| Led Zeppelin Package |
Led Zeppelin would have to be considered one of the greatest bands in rock history. They had quite a range of styles and sounds due to the combination of talents and virtuosity of Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Paul Jones, and John Bonham. This package includes songs from their first five albums, some acoustic classics as well as some of their riff-based, power chord songs. These lessons concentrate on the rhythm guitar parts, as Page's leads are generally improvised solos, and a completely different subject. The Bonus Songs are generally shorter lessons that cover the important parts of each song without going as deeply into all the specifics. All these lessons are presented the way Neil teaches them to his students and are very accurate acoustic versions of Jimmy Page's songs.

| Zombies - She's Not There |
*She�s Not There *is probably more identified by keyboard and bass parts, and these are combined in this lesson, creating a somewhat complicated arrangement that might be called the �Fancy Version.� This lesson includes keeping a complex riff going underneath the vocals, rather then just strumming the chords, and presents a good challenge for intermediate guitar students. The Campfire Version is included as well.

| The Grateful Dead Package |
This pack includes some of the Dead's most melodic songs, presenting mostly rhythm guitar parts but also including a couple of chord solos, where the melody is incorporated into the strumming. The set includes a few songs from their acoustic heyday, the early 70s, and one from their later days when they wrote about aging a bit. All of the songs are played with a pick and include charts with the chords and lyrics. Some lessons include tab for some specific parts.

| Dire Straits - Romeo and Juliet |
Mark Knopfler is one of the most talented musician�s to have come along in the last 50 years. This lesson is on one of his acoustic masterpieces, *Romeo And Juliet*. The song first appeared in 1980 on Dire Straits� third album Making Movies, and remains a standard in Mark�s performances and a fan favorite still today. The song is played in Open G Tuning with a capo at the third fret, and uses what is really a free-form picking/strumming technique.

| The Beatles - Norwegian Wood |
Norwegian Wood is played in 12/8, where each measure consists of 4 repetitions of a simple 3/4 strumming pattern. The song is fingered in the key of D, but the guitar was played with a capo at the 2nd fret moving the tonal center (tonic) to E. It uses 2 different modes, the first section, starting on D major, uses the mixolydian mode (C natural in the scale rather than C#). The second section, starting on Dm is based on the melodic minor scale.

| The Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends |
There are many nuances in the recorded version of *With A Little Help From My Friends*that are pretty challenging to incorporate into a solo guitar accompaniment version. This lesson talks about complex time signatures, works on a percussive strumming pattern using a lot of barre chords, and includes some of George�s lead fills.

| Buddy Holly - That'll Be The Day |
*That'll Be The Day by Buddy Holly* is a classic from the early days of Rock & Roll. This short Campfire Lesson goes over the chord progression, played using mostly power chords with a shuffle-type riff, and a quick look at the opening guitar lick.

| The Beatles - Michelle |
In 1965 The Beatles sound was changing, as it continued to do for the next 5 years, and Rubber Soul, released late that year included quite a few acoustic songs. *Michelle*, written mainly by Paul using bits and pieces from something he originally had as a lighthearted French sounding ditty, is a great example of one of these. The guitar is played with a capo at the 5^th fret, creating a somewhat delicate sound. This lesson includes the guitar accompaniment, as well as the short lead incorporated into a Chord Solo.

| Arlo Guthrie - City Of New Orleans |
A classic Campfire Song, City Of New Orleans was a big hit for Arlo Guthrie in 1972 when it was released on his album Hobo�s Lullaby. The song was written by Steve Goodman, who managed to get Arlo to listen to it in a bar in Chicago, and Arlo agreed to record it. It is a pretty standard chord progression that can be played in many keys. This lesson looks at it in the key of C, using a country strumming pattern.

| The Beatles - I'm Looking Through You |
Rubber Soul included many acoustic oriented songs and Paul�s I�m Looking Through You was one of those that had a nice folk-swing feel to it. This lesson covers the way it was played on that original release, as well as an earlier outtake that appeared on Beatles Anthology 2 in the mid-1990s. That version had more of a bluesy feel to it. The lesson also includes a short organ fill that fits nicely into a barred G chord.

This lesson goes into detail about the techniques George used to create this acoustic masterpiece.

| The Beatles - Something |
The version of Something on Abbey Road is done in the key of C, modulating to A for the bridge. This arrangement we are looking at is based on George�s acoustic guitar demo of the song that was released on The Beatles Anthology III. This version is probably how George played it for his wife, Patti, in their kitchen in 1968. We are playing in the key of A, modulating to F# for the bridge. The intro riff, or melody is much easier to play in this key and leads me to believe that this is the key George wrote it in, if he wrote it on guitar. There are conflicting stories about this. Most composers who play the guitar tend to write things that lay comfortably under the fingers on the fretboard.

| Indigo Girls - Closer To Fine |
*Closer To Fine *was one of the first hits for The Indigo Girls, Amy Ray and Emily Saliers, and has remained one of their most popular for over 20 years. The song features some quick strumming using a fairly easy set of chords, which act as a perfect accompaniment to their tightly woven harmonies
