How does he do that when he plucks the strings towards the end? Is there anywhere to learn this song? I don't mind learning by ear but some help would also be nice.
I"ve watched as many versions as I can fit into one day of this song, but I can't seem to find one that comes close to matching in beauty they way Frank Fairfield plays and sings.
it's just a shame we didnt HD youtube in 1920...this guy sings great songs but the whole point of folk music isnt about originality. this fella is TRYING to be authentic...one thing you cant do

@hajimaji Ugh. Whatever the hell 'authentic' means, this stuff is raw and heartfelt. Your pretentious babbling is unfriendly to say the least.

@vabachi I've heard musicians try to "mimic" the old tunes and the results are awful. This is good only because it is raw and heartfelt. :-)

I was looking for Jesse Colin Young's version of Rye Whiskey and ended up here.
It can't get more authentic!
