Thanksgiving week was a huge blast around the Hogan house, so the only News I have is that we released a couple new strumming packs, based on some of my recent lists. They are Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 1 and Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 2. Of course, all these lessons are available to our monthly or yearly subscribers but following is what I recommend as suggested (maybe required?) playing for all my students.

Neil’s Top Strumming Songs Volume 1

The first volume of our Strumming Series starts with songs that only use a few open chords and a basic strumming pattern. It then adds tunes with some barre chords.

Only open chords
Knocking On Heaven’s Door
