Casey Henry
I’ve had a couple different people ask me this, so I’m doing this post to answer their question. I’ve written previously (here and here) about the custom lessons on DVD I’m offering. I’ve had lots of requests, and have a bit of a backlog in recording them since I was away from my computer for a month. But here is a complete list of all the ones I have ready to go right away. Each song is $30 apiece (about the same as a half-hour in-person lesson). If you want copies of any of these lessons, email me! Or, now you can order straight from my website: caseyhenry.net. Just type the title you want into the box and click “Add to Cart.” I also now offer custom guitar rhythm practice tracks. Info and ordering about those can be found here.

What a great idea!
How did you ever come up with this?
Hope to see you at SI tomorrow.

Casey and/or Murphy, is this John Henry (in G) the fancy one that Murphy plays on the Stelling Album??
Er, I’ll take that back! I see that the custom lesson is John HENRY, but what I’d like to learn is the fancy John HARDY that Murphy plays on the Stelling Album. Where can I find that? (I already know the part that she teaches on Vol 1)? Thanks.
Hey Susan,
I actually have two of Murphy’s ‘John Hardy’ breaks as lessons: the second low break and the first high break. (They’re two separate lessons.) Just for general info, the ‘John Henry’ break is just a simple G arrangement.
