Why You Should Check Out Jerry Reed's Guitar Playing (Some Suggested Books and a Few Stories)

Today, I am sharing my enthusiasm for Jerry Reed's amazing guitar playing and masterful musical compositions. I'll share titles of some music books I like (no paid promotion or affiliate links) but just a few suggestions coming from one friend to another. I hope you enjoy and feel free to share your stories and recommended resources for learning more about Jerry in the comments below. The video is for educational purposes only and I had no personal or business connection to the authors of any of these books at the time of this video. I encourage you to purchase their books and be supportive of their work, however, this is not intended to be an endorsement. My advice here is given freely, is not a complete listing of all the great learning resources available (Please mention or link to your books, videos, lesson offerings, etc. in the comments below), and I do this all out of a real love for Jerry's music! ☕Here's my "BuyMeACoffee" Page.
