Thank you Fretless.  I didn't see "Turkey in the Straw" or "The Entertainer" listed.  How about "Fleur Elise", these three titles are from bonus materials.  Does anyone play these?  Are they from an earlier version of L&M not available now?

That is interesting, Tuninghead. My L&MG package, bought new in 2012, came with 20 DVDs with the lessons and worshops on plus 5 Play-Along CDs. Maybe there is a newer version or I am missing a CD; I don't know. Which CD or DVD are your 3 songs on?

Only the Original LMG course (created before the Bonus Workshops) had jam-along CD's. Originally there were the 20 sessions, DVDs for those sessions, and jam-along CD's for those original songs. Later Steve added the Bonus Workbook and Bonus DVDs, but he never made recordings of the Bonus material songs. 

If you go over to this other thread, you will find the original PDF of song speeds as well as an mp3 of Turkey in the Straw created by Dennis C for the LMG forum.

Someone never took German. That is Fur Elise. Or, For Elise.

Grog, great observation on my German.  Beautiful music in any language.

Fretless,  I got the three songs from internet;  L&M Bonus Resources.  I never had a CD.

Cindy, Thanks for the link.  I listened to the song on the internet to learn the phrasing, while I did learn the song I think it was a long process.

Someone asked me recently about play along CDs and the tempos. I doubt this comes up often and knowing how to find the list may not be intuitive as this topic seems to get pinned and unpinned at times - and there are a lot of pinned topics. Search for any of the song titles on the 5 CDs and it will be in the search results.
