How to play Classical Gas by MASON WILLIAMS on Nylon Classical Guitar (Part 2/4)

I put off learning this song for quite a few years as I knew it would be an undertaking. I started teaching it to a lesson a few years back but unfortunately he gave up on the it.

I had a request for it again in early April 2007, this time from a number of students so I finally tackled it head on and finished it in a few short weeks. Surprisingly enough it wasn't as difficult as I expected. To make this song easier to learn you have to practice it in smaller sections (phrases). Of course it helps if you have already done some finger picking previously.

Very well explained. I bought the Mason Williams book for the tabs which I think are not correct in many section and your playing seems more accurate. Do you have any tabs for this version, think it would be much beeter for me? Russ
