"I grew up hearing these songs on AM radio. I 've played guitar for years

and had figured out some of these songs on my own, but still learned a few

playing tips from Mr. Sebastian. Almost all the songs are played from the "C"

position. With the use of a capo you can find the key for your voice.

Speaking of voices, you'll be in for a shock when you hear John's voice.

Yikes! What happened? Most singers have to lower the key through the years,

but Mr. Sebastian's voice is completely shot. That aside, if you like these

songs you'll enjoy hearing John talk about there origins and how they were

written."

Great Teacher

"It's like having John over in your living room. His teaching is augmented with stories about the writing of the songs as well as hints as to what influenced the style."
