[run2you95]

can I get the tab for this???, please

[forbebe]

@run2you95 Sorry.....it's all in my head.

[run2you95]

@forbebe for the main tab?? , i love the song so much, can U do this for me?

[forbebe]

@run2you95 I don't have it written down. I'm so sorry. It's memorized and learned by ear.  I don't write out music. Try to learn by watching!!

[kanomemasayuki]

I know he loves the guitar. His sound drives me so far. Great sound!

[forbebe]

@kanomemasayuki Thanks so much! It means a great deal!

[leobluesy]

Great expression..

[forbebe]

@leobluesy :-)

[TheMemphisSlim]

Why does everyone play in D, with a C chord 2 frets up? If you sing high, it makes sense, if you just pick you just play in C and let the bass come out.. Too many people listening to Doc Watson (my fav) who always plays a C chord in the D position?

[forbebe]

@TheMemphisSlim Hi Memphis.....I simply play often on the second fret because it's easier. Frets are closer together and action is better. As for singing too high? I'm recently a vocal cord cancer survivor.....2 years free....used to be a guitarist vocalist with a 3 octave range......not anymore. Hope you can sing it wherever you want! Cheers, BB

[TheMemphisSlim]

@forbebe Nuff said and congrats :) Doc Watson plays there because he's blind, but doesn't let on about it.

[forbebe]

@TheMemphisSlim I've known Doc since I was 19 and first met him. He was the first "real" guitarist I ever played for. Did Windy and Warm. Delightful man. I knew him before Merle was really good and before the tragedy. Doc is amazing!! Thanks, Slim.

[KarlheinzFey1]

Very good  folkstyle and arrangement! Best regards Karlheinz

[MonikaBuffyVampire]

[forbebe]

@MonikaBuffyVampire Thanks so much!!

[RuntLaLaLa]

very nice :)

[forbebe]

@RuntLaLaLa Thanks so much, Miss R. I love your rabbit videos!! Cheers, BB

[HamiltonCounty22]

I like your little grins when you "stop" "short" :-)

[forbebe]

@HamiltonCounty22 Thanks! I like to try and have fun with it!

[L0ngTD1996]

Playing like you is so  hard ! Can you play simply ??? ^__*

[forbebe]

@L0ngTD1996 Thanks so much for recognizing that! I guess hard is a relative term. To me that's one of the simpler ones. Wish I could help you. It was all memorized years ago and never written down. Good luck! Keep watching and trying to play! cheers, BB

[forbebe]

@beaglemania29745  So nice to hear, Johnny! I appreciate being brought to mind! cheers, BB

[glasgowmuso]

Quite literally the best version i've ever heard of this song ever. I'm gonna learn it and play it to my baby nephew, who's 2 years old this month. I hope I become 'cool uncle Paul' that plays that awesome tune! You should be real proud ms forbebe - some amazin playin and great soul :-)

Much love from Scotland. x

[forbebe]

@glasgowmuso Thank you soooooooo much! I didn't think folks ever looked at this one. I know it's one of the only versions out there. Your kind words are greatly appreciated!  It gives me the inspiration to do more! Thanks again! Good luck, cool uncle Paul!! Cheers, Bunny

[YouBeenBaked]

I love the way you integrated the country/blues-y bassline to this fine tune. Amazing job, I loved it.

[forbebe]

@YouBeenBaked wow....never got a post that you'd commented. Thank you so much! I so appreciate the kind words!! Thank you, thank you!! cheers, BB

[stevethehawk]

Nicely done. You're a joy to watch. Great smiles when you are playing. I'm not in your league when it comes to guitar, but I've tried smiling when I play. Just doesn't work for me. Throws off my concentration I guess. I have to maintain my guitar face.

[forbebe]

Thanks so much! You do some fine picking too. It's hard to smile when you play. You have to really work at it. I watch Tommy Emmanuel and he always seems so happy and enjoying what he does. Most guitarists don't smile or move at all. But I get such joy from watching him that I wanted to try to emulate him and hopefully make others smile like he does for me!  Guess it's working! Thanks again! BB

[pinknblues1]

Really nice pickin, you remind me of missisippi John hurt - not to look at! but guitarwise, nice to hear you do some of his stuff

[forbebe]

Wow, Pink. That's a first for me! Nice to hear coming from a fine fellow guitar player like yourself. Nice Maton you have too! I didn't realize John H did that tune. It's my own arrangement mostly. I looked around for some other versions, but nothing was like mine. I've done it for years and always liked it. I appreciate the comment! Keep on picking! BB

[hurlevent52]

I suppose you know the version recorded by Chet Atkins in his album "Work it Out with Chet Atkins" ...

[forbebe]

No, I never heard it. Didn't know he did a version. Now I will have to look for it and see if I can hear it somewhere. Thanks so much for letting me know! bb

[forbebe]

Just ordered the tape!  Thanks again for the alert!

[Barrie562]

That was cute! I love this song too and am going to add it to my songlist soon, I will however be strumming and use two keys.- can't pick like you can! Great job! 5*

[forbebe]

Thanks! Greatly appreciated! Thanks for favoriting it. bb

[Mucklum]

Hey BB, that´s a cute little arrangement. Good to see your cheeky smile on this ;-)

And nicely played, with a tender touch.

I´ll write soon, for now have a happy new year !

All the best,

Matthias

[Bluesmanstrat1]
