Default Jerry’s Guitar Bar?

I just came across this online teaching site for specific songs by different artists. It looks very intriguing and I think something I’d like to explore, but would like opinions before I pull the trigger on subscribing. Any thoughts from those who’re familiar with Jerry’s Guitar Bar?
Thanks!

I've used Jerry's Guitar Bar quite a lot. You get good quality videos, Tabs, notation and melody pdf.s for a good price. The package suits my learning style. So in answer to your question, yes, I would recommend him.

I like Jerry's stuff. I just wish he'd get a better vocal mic and speak directly into it.

Great stuff. Didn't know there was a subscription option.

I love Jerry's site; probably my second most used source of new material (after Kelly Valleau's one). I just purchase one song at a time rather than doing a subscription.

Been using him for a few years now on various songs. I really like how he teaches and breaks down the songs.

Jerry used to have sets of songs that were a really great deal. I bought "The Best of Gordon Lightfoot" and "The Rest of Gordon Lightfoot." It looks now like the songs are all sold individually. Not near the deal, but you get a lot of information

He's very thorough and shows you exactly how the artist plays the tune, and offers easier alternatives for the challenging chords. He goes through the picking pattern slowly and methodically, and the tabs and music sheets depict it all completely. Some songs have two or even three videos plus the play through.

I mostly try to find free tutorials on YouTube, but if you really want to learn a song you like, everything is there.

You can't go wrong. Buy a song you like and see. The others will be the same quality of instruction, at least in my limited experience.

I'm a big fan of Jerry and I purchased packages and individual songs. He's very responsive via email if you have any problems or questions as well.

Top notch stuff from Jerry.

He deserves all the praise that he's getting here.

I buy individual songs from him and really like the way he teaches.
Having printable tabs is very important to me.
At $5.95 per song, give a try!

I’ve purchased at least a dozen songs/lessons from him. His teaching style works for me as a relative beginner. I highly recommend you try a lesson or two and see what you think.
Best,
Tom

A+

Never been disappointed, and I have probably purchased 10-12 lessons over the years.

I've bought a couple of arrangements with video from him. Well done products.

I took your positive input and am now working on a John Prine song (as Mr. Prine played it) and looking forward to learning other offerings from Jerry Lamberth and his Guitar Bar. Thanks all.
