I learnt this about that many years ago and strangely enough came to it again recently- lovely performance by the way!

Good old Stefan, I've learnt a lot from him. Those shots of the pages bring it all back- I still have that book.

@ mauroPavaneli .. Hi Mauro ,, thank you ,, hope you didnt mind me sending it ,, nothing compares with your flat picking mate ,, quality !! take it easy ,, dave :)

[MauroPavanelli]

Great version Dave! Really love it!! When I started playing acoustic I took some time to decide wich way I would choose, so I recorded some fingerpicking music before I went into a diferent direction, that's why you found a Vestapol version in my channel. Best regards, you did a great job!
