    Hi, everyone! I had to work on this one for quite a while. There are a few mistakes, but I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out! This is from the old song vault if you’re looking for the lessons or tab…

    Great job Ted! I love that song, would love to learn that one. Very clean fretting and your guitar has a nice woodie tone to it. Finger pickin ninja.

    Very impressive; great job! Smooth and clear. I can’t even think about that kind of playing where I am at; but it gives me inspiration to keep going. Thanks!

    Great job with this song. I’m going to pull this song up for myself. I didn’t hear any mistakes, i’m sure no one else did either.

      John Fahey makes the guitar sound like thunder:

      And this version with Chet Atkins, Leo Kottke, and Doc Watson is amazing:

        Chet and the guys pick over the sound hole but Wow Fahey is almost picking the bridge.

    Great job. I’ve been working on that one off and on for a while. My interest and focus comes and goes. But Tony did say this one would take a while to learn. I’ll get it one day.

    Again, great job!
