Woody Guthrie.Do Re Mi.

[gottheblues67]

What type of guitar you got there?

[GrahamCarter1000]

Woody says in "Bound for Glory" that he spoke to a girl who used a thumb pick and that he told her he used a pick himself.

[dirtyrydn]

Wait ah minute, I've never heard Kurt do that one?  Just kidding I dialed the wrong number. I still enjoyed it though.

[cindyshealed]

Is this what ya call Travis picking or cross picking?

[ericbotticelli]

Incredible rendition. I'm gonna learn this song from your fingering. Thanks!

How does one learn to play like this? Can anyone recommend a book?

[willhanza]

Does anyone know if Woody used a thumb pick? Did they have them back then? I am researching, thank you.

[bobheaton]

I'd say he used a flat pick?

[PaulieMc]

Thanks Vincent I wish I could sing it,sadly there's only a few clips of Woody.

[jtaft57]

@bobheaton you're incredible! I wish I could play like that--and had someone to teach me. I found out when I hurt my back and had tiime to develope my strumming and chord knowledgte to years ago that I could strum AND sing together! Thank God for back injuries, eh? You have a gift, sir, go with it!

[TheTroyBreslow]

@bobheaton yeah there are only two remaining clips of him in the world

[Kasquar]

[ncbrosig]

you know bob, you never fail to impress. even the t-shirt kicks ass. I hope that the people you hang out with appreciate that you maintain the heart of american music in your spare time. where do you live?

[bluespower]

cheers mate,nice finger style,regards bluespower..

[zkafel]

great playing. you should sing some though.. can you please show us how to play "Hang Knot" (Have you ever seen a hangman tie a hang knot?.. not the other song) and possibly New York Town ("I was standing down in New York town one day..") i think thats the name of it. I love woody so much. Seriously please post those if you got the time. you don't have to do a lesson just play them i can catch it like that. thanks so much !

[nickybux]

excellent..incidentally i used to own one of those washburn parlour jobbies,their cool too...nice one

[SoVerySappy]

If you aint got the do-re-mi...done up good.

[guitardan102938]

Pretty playing Bob! Authentic sounding on your parlour guitar too. Woody is one of my favourites.. I'm half way through reading his autobiography 'Bound for Glory' it's a great read.. strongly recommended.
