It's time for another lesson video! This video is one from the Archives of old vids I recently discovered. A while back my good buddy and jamming partner on one of my most popular videos of all time (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpU7QPDrmow) requested I do a lesson video for him on the Tony Rice version of the tune "Home from the Forest" written by Gordon Lightfoot.

Long story short, I created this video to help him understand how I broke down a song. I intended to do an actual lesson on the song myself, but time got away from me and I was never really passionate about it myself, so I just let it go. Now I'm retrieving it from the archives for all to see and learn.

NOTE: I won't be teaching this song as a separate video. That's what this video is for. So I challenge you to learn this song on your own if you want, using the tips and techniques I share in this video.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. Here's hoping you learn something new that will help you along your journey toward guitar greatness!
