Cyndi Lauper, Miles Davis -"Time After Time," Cover - Ron Jackson Solo Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar
I knew the Miles Davis version of this tune first because I actually saw him play it live. I listened to Cyndi Lauper's original version later. My arrangement is based on Cyndi's version.
John Lennon - " Imagine," Cover - Ron Jackson Solo Pick Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar
My peaceful and tranquil rendition and arrangement of one of my favorite songs ever. I played in the key of G so I could use resonating open strings. John Lennon - " Imagine," Cover - Ron Jackson Solo Pick Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar

Jackson 5 Stylistics "People Make The World Go Round" Ron Jackson Solo Fingerstyle Acoustic Guitar
My solo arrangement and rendition of the classic 70’s tune that I have performed many times live and recorded on one of my CD’s. Usually this tune is played with a full band with its recurring ostinato bass line.It's always time consuming and a challenge for me to write,practice and perform these pieces. I really love the time and key changes in this composition. Originally recorded by the Stylistics and then the Jackson 5.
