The results of our ‘Rock Piano Lesson Poll’ are in. At the top of the list are “Moondance” by Van Morrison and “Layla” by Eric Clapton. Fortunately, Jef Labes who played on the original recording of “Moondance” and Chuck Leavell who played on the Clapton ‘Unplugged’ version of “Layla” are both associated with irocku.com so we’ll be able to go directly to the sources for these lessons. Jef and Chuck are also both available for private online lessons! Click here if you are interested in taking private lessons with either Jef or Chuck.
