[guitmartiman]

You're welcome! I'm so glad you liked it!

[montomaniac]

I've always loved this version! You are the master of fingerpicking! you must be from the south =) Us Northwesterner's are plain ol' strummers. Beautiful rendition my friend!

[guitmartiman]

Master of fingerpicking?! Surely you jest! If not, I can see I need to turn you onto some real masters! Let's see, you need to check out Doyle Dykes, Tommy Emmanuel, Tony "Troubleclef," and "Naudo," just to name a few off the top of my head! There are hundreds more that can play circles around me, but I do appreciate the affirmation!

[rastagirl007]
