Learn to Play the Songs of John Denver Volume 3

The first two volumes of this series have met with such enthusiasm from guitar playing fans of John Denver that it became clear that we had to continue with a third lesson. Pete Huttlinger’s comprehensive understanding of John Denver’s music, and his ability to communicate techniques to learning guitarists, have inspired innumerable players and have made these among Homespun’s most successful instructional products.

For this lesson, Pete selected seven of the John Denver guitar arrangements most requested by fans of his previous videos. He teaches the arpeggiated intro and rich chords of Calypso; the powerful strumming patterns of “Spirit” and “The Eagle and the Hawk;” the flatpicking riffs and bass lines to “Matthew;” the intro and fingerpicking patterns to “Dreamland Express” and “Poems, Prayers and Promises;” and the classical-sounding accompaniment to “Today.”

Throughout the lesson you’ll gain many insights into the musical mind of John Denver, as well as the special sounds and compelling voicings that make these guitar arrangements simple to play and yet uniquely beautiful.
