Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Guitar But Were Afraid To Ask!
THE LETTER – Guitar Lesson
The #1 Billboard song of 1967. Later reworked in a bluesy format by Joe Cocker. Join me for this The Letter guitar lesson and learn the catchy intro riff as well as the chords.
Main strumming pattern is ….. down/up/down up down/up/down up
This website is awesome, thanks for all your work !
However, I think there's a slight mistake in the tab here, 'cause where you play a G, there's a second Am written (that sound bad, by the way ) Just saying.

Hey Jackson,
Nice of you to take the time to figure these songs out for those of us who don't really have the time but like to play new and different stuff.
Also, I envy your guitar collection…Thanks for the site
Hi Jackson.
Great song! really like your teaching style, the only thing… I wish you would show your strumming hand also. I am having a hard time trying to make it sound like yours. Maybe you can help, really want to play it like you.
Thanks Adrian
Another great lesson Jackson. Any chance we'll see the riff for "No Time" by the Guess Who? That is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the great job you do on your site, I've learned alot.
My name is Jackson Mace. I have been involved with music and specifically guitar since 1963. I have been an educator for 32 years and a working musician for 40. I have taught guitar in the classroom and also privately. My instruction has focused on advancing practical rather than theoretical knowledge and making learning fun! I have a "healthy" collection of electric guitars and enjoy working on them, setting them up, modding them, etc. I currently work as a part-time professional musician and actor. After family, my other passion is this website. I am committed to enhancing the site and making free lessons and info about the guitar available to you .... committed to being your guitar mentor ... committed to being your FREE GUITAR MENTOR!
