Hey everyone, It’s Monday, so I’ve got some new materials ready for you. This week’s Tab of the Week is the beautiful Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel. You’ll find both the Full and Easy versions available to download in the Classroom tab. This week’s practice tip is a simple but really important one — using a metronome to improve your timing. It’s something we all know we should do, but don’t always do enough (myself included). If you’re just starting out, I’d really recommend building this into your practice now. It’ll help you avoid bad timing habits and make everything feel much smoother as you improve. Quick update — I’m currently working on getting more of my full back catalogue uploaded here. It’s a bigger job than I expected, and I want to make sure it’s organised properly so it’s easy for you to use. But it is coming, so thanks for your patience while I get everything set up. Enjoy the tabs this week, and let me know how you get on with Sound of Silence! Jack

Hey everyone 👋 I know some of you are completely new to fingerstyle — and some of you are even brand new to guitar. If you’re just starting out, fingerstyle can feel tricky at first. You’re asking your fingers to do different jobs at the same time… and that takes a little practice. So to make things easier, I’ve just added my Top 5 Very Easy Fingerstyle Tabs to the classroom. These are simplified melody-only arrangements, meaning you’ll just play the main tune — no complicated bass lines, no tricky coordination. Perfect for building confidence and getting used to the style. All five songs are now available in the Classroom Tabs section 🎸 Start with whichever one you like the sound of — and take it slow. If you get stuck or need any help at all, just let me know. I’m here to help. Jack
