Jackson Browne

Jackson Browne teaches how to play four of his most popular songs and breaks down the essential elements of his distinctive approach to the guitar, including his use of alternate, open tunings and fingerstyle picking patterns.


With over one hour of lesson time and multiple practice sessions that include both musical notation and guitar tabulature, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to learn Jackson Browne’s signature style from Jackson himself.

Songs taught and played:

  1. These Days
  2. My Opening Farewell (drop D tuning)
  3. Something Fine (drop G tuning)
  4. Your Bright Baby Blues (E tuning)

100% of On the Path’s and Jackson’s proceeds from this lesson will be donated to the Success Through The Arts Foundation (STTAF), a nonprofit foundation dedicated to using the arts as a catalyst to the education of students who have been traditionally underserved by the public schools.
