This is Part B (or 2) for The Triple Factor…
Hey!!!
Hope this finds your fingers and mind starting to move in new directions. Stay with me here. Things are about to get really interesting.
Your video lesson is below but before you go there, please read everything here first!
The whole design of the LGFAE system is to get you to think differently and approach things in a new way. It’s a step by step process that brings quick results. By now, I’m sure you’ve gone back through some of the lessons and probably even read over some of the comments other guitar pickers have left in our little community below the video’s. If not, feel free to do it! And by all means, help leave your input!
The lessons are there to help you out so go back over them until you really understand what’s trying to be conveyed to you.
If you hear me call a chord something a little “off the wall”, just roll with it. My terminology is often “against the grain” but you’ll soon understand why and it will all fit together in the end..
Listen… I’m not going to sit here and “SUGAR-COAT” things. I do things differently but in the end, it leads to common ground. I just get you there quicker than most routes.
In other words, the LGFAE system is a direct path from Point A to Point B. It’s a straight line to where you want to be in your playing. It works. It’s an absolute.
There are some great teachers out there.
But the fact is, there are some serious “Hucksters” out there that call themselves teachers and their only motive is to keep you in their back pocket or their hands in your bank account. Frankly, I feel it’s the same way with some “SNOOTY-TOOT” schools.
The objective should be to get you playing (well) quickly – and NOT to drain your bank account. Sorry if that offends somebody! I’m just going to tell you what I’ve seen happen too many times and I say… NOT COOL!
Understand… I don’t believe this is the heart of all instructors but it is common among many.
Enough about that and on with the show… the lesson…
This video wraps up the simple steps you can take that will turn what you already know into three times as much stuff. This only scratches the surface of what’s to come! Practice these simple steps. No boring theory here! Just excellent steps that really get you going!
The next time you see a great player doing a solo you love, watch closely…
Chances are… You’ll see he or she doing this. It’s a great way to start getting your fingers and brain to think more broadly about the neck of the guitar. It will come very naturally to you after you do it for about thirty minutes. Combine it with Part 1 (or Part A) of “The Triple Factor”.
Keep an eye on your email box. I’m getting ready to send you more about the “The 3 Rules”! Enjoy your lesson…

Thanks a lot. It’s getting cooler & pleasing to mine ear.
Great lessons Jerry… can’t wait for the next one and to sign up for the Full Blown course as well. Really enjoying your teaching style and pace.
Great stuff Jerry! I’m really having trouble putting my guitar down now. I’m really starting to get comfortable moving around the fretboard also. Can’t wait to see what happens next.
Jerry just wanted to say thanks .I have tried and tried to learn the notes on the neck and never could until I seen your easy approach. I can easily do the top string , and I am getting better at guessing the others thanks man and keep rocking !! How about a lil 80’s ?
That was short and profound and i want to know how to save your guitar video in a file thanks for the lesson
another great lesson. thanks
another great lessons – thanks Jerry. kind regards
Well you never Stop learning on the guitar. I have learned more thanks to your free lessons.
Hi Jerry,
another cool easy to follow video.
I have done harmonics just messing aroundt at the 12th 7th and 5th frets on certain notes so this lesson has inspired me and I cant wait to include it in a solo as soon as I get the phrasing/timing down. I guess a touch can turn into a tap when first learning to do this at speed.
Thanks Jerry.
LGFAE is a nice and cool way to build up your knowledge on guitar playing. Thank you very much Jerry.
You have given me hope in learning new techniques for lead playing. I’m a rhythm player and just recently decided to try lead. Thanks
Hi Jerry,
Man just want to say thank you so much. I am starting to enjoy learning how to play my guitar. To be honest if i hadn’t found you when i did there is a good chance i would have bounced it off a wall. (it been my guitar). I love the style an ease of your lessons. Thank you again Jerry. Feel like i should put in hugs and kisses your lessons are that good but how about a manly handshake instead. “Go raibh míle maith agat” (a million thank you’s ) from Ireland.
Another little gem of a lesson!
I was never into the tapping of notes thing, sure I saw people doing it but always thought it to be too complicated, too beyond me to learn. But you have demonstrated just how achievable and easy to learn this is.
Thanks again for a great lesson.
Patrick
Theese starting videos has really been an eye opener for me. i was stuck in chord progressions and simple songs read from tablature. Now a whole new world has opened up for me. Thank you Jerry..
Heyy
Thanks alot for the good work.
I am playing for about 19 months and could play 15-20 songs.
But I am really bad at tuning guitar and I am just afraid to tune it without any tuner.
Can you please suggest me something.
And moreover I play rhythm only. This is also one of my concern
Thanks in advance .. Waiting for your response
Jerry,
Thanks for the tips and lessons.
This is exactly what I need. I know quite a bit about the subject matter but I am having a tough time tying it together.
Stumbling upon your site was a God send. Already it has improved my playing. Keep on sending those lessons.
Have a Merry Christmas.
Joshua
I am a fairly advanced player and songwriter, but really never developed the tricks for lead work. I was pretty skeptical the first few lessons but I stuck with it and am really glad I did. Your nougats are taking my playing to another level and I really appreciated it.
I love these lessons. Mainly because of your presentation style, casual.
Time is tight, but I’ll keep trying to progress.
i can’t wait for the next lesson.. now i have a lot of new material to use on my solos and really easy… thaaanks
jerry cant wait because what i’ve learned so far is golden so sign me up now
another good jerry thanks learn a little more each time
Hi Jerry
I’m really glad that I joined up. The lessons have been a real help to me. The information that you gave has given has opened a new door.
Thanks so much
Being a beginner, you have made it enjoyable to learn and very easy to understand. My 10 y.o. daughter is learning to play as well. We enjoy learning and playing the guitar together. Thanks for the great lessons!
Wow. I must say this was am amazing lesson. I have always wondered how to do this and now Im doing it with no problem! I will pass this on to all the guitarists in my school band for sure. hopefully they will use this in the next performance. Keep them coming and thanks
Hi Jerry,
I have two small issues that I need help with. The first relates to the power D chord, I find it quite hard to hold this position, is it acceptable to hold a bar at the 5th fret with the first finger and half a bar ‘A’ shape at the 7th fret using my 3rd finger but also and using my 4th pinkie finger to assist the 3rd half bar? hope you can understand this.
The second problem, I am finding it difficult to hold chords or bar chords at the top end of the neck due to the standard shape of the acoustic guitar body, i.e. no cut out.
Many thanks,
John.
great lesson Jerry, you are shining the light where i need it the most. these lessons are really helpful thank you for your time
this is great, i wish I had this 20 years ago
Hi Jerry, I am cruising on a musical high and don’t really want to come down. But, I am having some trouble with the 12th fret thing. I use a classical with nylon strings so I can’t get up to the 4th thru 7th fret very well as the neck feels about 4 frets shorter than I need. I am trying to practice the pentatonic scale and the A minor in the 4th position is giving me a rough go, the 5th is non existent. Yeah I Know. Icould use some cheese with my whine. I am hoping your great finger drill will help. I want to get this down before arthritis sets in …lol.
Thanks for these great lessons.
Jack
These lessons are very helpful and extremely informative.
Jerry, Like to tell everyone what a great labor of love & invaluable experience they’re being blessed with in this program !…been in alot of bands, playing since early 70’s with a Phil Keaggy, Neal schon, Satriani style, played in church & some famous musicians & you remind me of some good people I knew in Augusta, Georgia while in the Army.. After playin with my band we used to go see the Dixie Dregs, an I’d end up asking Steve Morse all kinds of questions, that he’d humbly share as yourself, reason I tuned in was sort of like the ol Neal Young song , Heart of Gold, wanted to see if you were real like that, and sure enough I’d like to say that you’re also showing folks things about life, like being unselfish, appreciation , & patience , all important qualities for true progress & inspiration, Like Eric Johnson once said…I get healed everytime I hear someone doing something cool on guitar, that elevates it for everyone, kind of new to the internet, working on a my space, thanks for caring & putting this out Jerry, may the best yet to come 4 everyone, Don in Califonia
I started playing guitar when I was 10 and after having many lessons for several years I lost interest as I just didn’t seem to be getting anywhere. What you say is true you just want to be able to play, you don’t want to be bogged down with a whole load of theory.
I have just recently started playing again and after stumbling across your site I have not been able to put my guitar down.
Your lessons are really easy to grasp and what’s more a lot of the things that I learn’t years ago are finally beginning to make sense.
Well done bloke on putting together this course, can’t wait to see where you are going to take us next.
Thanks,
Steve from the UK
Thanks Jas. Australia. Man, it still blows me away to think I get to teach people as far away as you. When I was 15 years old, my dad used to let me “sneak” and drive his old 72 Ford truck across town to teach guitar to other kids.
Thanks for tuning in and commenting. Keep practicing.
Jerry
jerry . what can i say mate . you have already show’n me more than ive ever been tought . and the way you present you videos are just awsome mate .ive show’n a few mates you videos down here in australia and they are blow’n away . this is top’s mate cheers from jas down under
jerry,the front stage A power chord has a nice ring to it, although i am struggling to get any other ‘lick’ sound, like the ones you were doing. i suppose its down to practise. oh by the way i think you have a unique way of teaching and by that i mean excellent. terry.
NOTE FROM JERRY: Practice one note. Then add another. Tap up or touch 12 frets up. Alternate back and forth on just those two notes (tapping and touching). Now move up another string and do the same thing. After that, put all four notes together in a sequence. Do this for 15 minues and you’ll have it.
My gosh, this is great. I seem to sound like I’m stuttering with my fingers. I get kind of tangled if you know what I mean. Anybody else have this problem? Any suggestions? Thanks for the lessons Jerry, you really do an excellent job of making things clear and I’m with the many others here in saying, I’m interested if you decide to offer a full blown course. Any idea on how much it would cost?
Thanks.
Sarah
I have been looking looking around for this kind of information. Will you post some more in future? I’ll be grateful if you will.
practising part a and b of the triple factor so far so good. are there any more free lessons or do i pay for the next ones, regards terry.
Dude-
Nice shirt! Ha!
The sounds you pull out are awesome. I’ve played around with this before but you presented it in a way that made me want to come back and spend some time on it.
Was playing with a friend the other day and did a couple of the licks I’d been practicing (using this lesson) and he was blown away.
TRENT
Okay… I got it. Now how do I make it sound as neat as you do. I know, I know. Practice. Right?
Excellent.
T.
Oh yeah, one more thing Jerry – definitely will take your advice and start playing around with this in different keys.
~M
Jerry, so far I’ve been playing everything completely clean. Reason being is I’m working on a lot of stuff from “Dark Side of the Moon”. What you’ve shown me though, is that it’s okay to start playing what I want to play because I now know where to go. With that knowledge (and my headphones) I’ve finally started experimenting with my stomp box and making up my own licks. This has got me using my 3rd and 4th fingers a lot more when playing music, as opposed to just doing scales or finger exercises on the fret board. Did I mention I’m having a blast? Thanks for all your help!
Best, Mike
Excellent lesson. Keep it coming. Definitely see the tie to the 7 & 12.
You have a very neat way of keeping a students attention.
CC
Man I love that squeal you get at the beginning of the lesson. This is cool stuff. Thanks, I’ll pass this around for sure.

Never mind the great lesson, can I buy your shirt? Kidding.
These really are very helpful.
Thanks.

Ahhh shucks! Just kidding. Thanks for the nice comment.

Regarding Sheldon:
Thanks for the comment. You’re exactly right about how this just sorta slips by you. You get used to playing you’re usual style and methods and you sorta get in a rut. Even the simplest things can be made to sound great if you just tap back into them. We’ll be talking about a little something I call “Reverse Evolution” real soon. It will really boost your playing to new levels.

Regarding TammyB:
TammyB… Thanks for allowing your son to participate in the free lessons. I’m glad he’s enjoying them. As long as he practices what we work on, his skills can only get better an better. I’ve been at this long enough to realize that players (old and new) don’t want to monkey around. You want results quick and that’s why my lessons are purposely designed to be short but verrrry useful.
If he likes everything this far, wait till he sees what’s coming.
As for a quicker course with more material goes, my private clinics always sell out quick and I like that but unfortunately, it means I can’t get in as many people as I’d like to. I’m really excited about pouring more of myself into the web courses and focusing more time into that. My reach will be larger and still personable and effective. I’ll keep you posted of things to come.
Thanks.

Alright, I don’t play but my son does. We’ve payed for private lessons for him for nearly a year. He is 15.
We still keep an eye on his involvement online and when he asked what we thought about your course. We were open to allow him to subscribe to your free course.
All I can say is you do a fantastic job. He is truly excited and doing quite well with just what he’s received from you this far. In fact, he seems to be further ahead in what he’s been working on all along.
Is there a course in the works that we can purchase that gives even more?
Post details if there’s something in the works or available.
Thanks.

I was referred to your site and signed up for the free course. I’m an advanced player (about ten years now) and while the first couple lessons are geared toward beginners, I’d have to say that this idea on tripling something you already know is something I’ve never really dug into and thought about. You know, you just start doing things without thinking about it and I guess that’s been my case.
I’m not saying I haven’t known how things repeat. I learned that early in the game. But the way you present it in the lesson just really drove it home for me and caused me to really think about it and apply it more— and I’ve been at this for quite awhile. I can see some serious possibilities here.
I’ve been going over chords and old licks doing this and I’d have to agree. This is a great secret to re-discover.
From the material you are sending out, it’s very obvious you’ve given everything thought and passion.
I saw someone commenting on your guitar sound and I’d have to agree, it’s killer.
Do they still make the Fender Princeton Chorus?
I can honestly say I’m glad I was referred to your site. I’ve shared it with several people.
Can’t wait see what you have coming in future lessons.
Shhhheldon
Jerry,
I just wanted to say thanks for these lessons. They are excellent. The quality of information you are giving away is better than most paid lessons.
Thanks.

Brandon,
I don’t want to sound like a “smarty-pants” but really you just need to practice.
You’ll find that after practicing these few simple lessons, you’ll be doing this on auto-pilot.
I still look at where my right fingers are going (when tapping or touching up an octave -12 frets). But it’s like my left ones always know where they’re supposed to be in these lessons.
Just practice man. You’ll nail this in just a few twenty minute practice sessions.
Thanks.
Jerry
Sweeeeet man!!!
What’s the best way to keep from having to look back and forth constantly when you’re doing this?
BranMan
Patrick,
Your sound can be a funny thing. The more you work on it, the more it truly becomes “Your” sound.
I use a Fender Princeton Chorus. It’s a great amp. I describe it’s clean sound as “Wet”. My Fender Strat sounds great there as well as my acoustic guitars.
I use this amp for live performances and studio work.
The only effects I use are delay, light chorus, a little reverb and overdrive.
The amp has great distortion when overdriven.
The amp also has a limiter on it that just adds some great control and a very unique sound for a Strat. To me it sounds like it’s just bleeding the blues when ran through the limiter.
I have a few other guitars I play through it. One of my other favorites is/was an Ibenez RJ570 (1989 Model).
I loved that guitar but some thug broke in my house about five years ago and stole it!
I could have died.
What could I say, they had good taste in their choice of guitars.
Stay tuned, I’ll put something together on amp settings and ideas. I get a lot of email about this.
Thanks for the comment.
Jerry

I am realy enjoying the guitar finger placements on the neck and struming or picking but with the electric guitar could you explain how it is you set up the amp to get the sounds you are looking for.
Thanks
JW,
Man, all I can say is awesome! I’ve been getting your free stuff for a few weeks now and what you’re doing is great.
Yeh, sure I can get stuff off other video sites but your style is, I don’t know how to explain it. I feel like I’m just hanging around with an old friend.
I didn’t know you in another life did I. LOL!!!
Feed me more. Feed me more. Can you possibly double up on the lessons? Just kidding… maybe I’m not. Can you.
