Heartfelt and well played. Did you have a source for the tab or did you figure it out? Townes was a favorite of ours here in Austin.

[Kitman]

Thanks for watching the post and for your feedback and encouragement @albert_d . I really appreciate it. As far as learning the song I have a go to YouTube channel of Frans Kuijpers. He has a pretty good method of tabbing and teaching finger picked songs. Here is the link for If I Needed You. Have fun – there is a treasure trove of songs in his site.
