Learn to play or to sing along to Jamaica Farewell with this 200 video playlist.

We saw Jay Ferris play Jamaica Farewell at "The Stratford" in Phoenix this afternoon among a dozen or so other numbers. It grabbed us in particular because it's a good audience sing-along-- and we've been working on our sing-alongs. We plan to add it to our local lesson program too because it's a fairly simple tune-- both chord-wise and melody wise. The original reggae rhythm adds something new for most students. If you follow this blog, you can learn this tune best by "osmosis"-- in other words-- just listen to the playlist that follows and I'll be adding a link to a lesson forum thread soon.
