What a fantastic sound this guy makes, I have the self same guitar, and it sounds nothing like this, but then I can't even play, let alone finger pick.
He does, it's called a THUMB ;) At the end of the day it doesn't matter if you pick with a thumb callus, bit of nail, piece of plastic, just keep the picking alive I say.
no he didn't, thumbpick tones are dirt, I find myself ditching it when I try to wear one after the first verse. watch any MSJH video on here and he's not using one, because he knows thats where the tones at.
you are fantastic. do you have anything available in mp3 / itunes?

Nice, I bought my son a FG200 a few years back, it's in need of some repair right now but it sounded great before, would buy another one

Not really feeling the thumbpick -- John Hurt never used one, and I don't know why so many guitarists feel the need.

I really like this version a good take on the track. It's hard to sing and play this song at the same time. (i'm struggling with it)
superb
