I Remember Everythingby John Prine

John Prine is undoubtedly one of the greatest songwriters of the last half century, and an American Treasure. I Remember Everything is one of the last songs of his illustrious career, and is a perfect showcase and example of how a simple, basic fingerpicking accompaniment can be the ideal background for his poetic lyrics.

This lesson goes into John's fingerpicking style and technique, with a few specific examples used in I Remember Everything, but encourages the student to master the patterns and use them in their own take on the song. This approach is very useful for hundreds, if not thousands of similar songs.
