Acoustic Blues - Filtration Blues

My humble attempt at Stephen Bennett's Filtration Blues.

For those not familiar with Stephen Bennett, this is from his web site:
Since his 1987 first-place win at the National Flatpicking Championship in Winfield, Kansas (The Walnut Valley Festival), he has become known as a versatile guitarist who consistently garners critical praise and audience enthusiasm for his compositions and live performances. Stephen is also one of the world's premiere performers on the Harp Guitar.

Stephen recently underwent a kidney transplant due to Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD).
You can read about Stephens story at:

Filtration Blues (from Everything Under the Sun [2004]) is a song he wrote about his kidney disease. I ran into his instructional videos at www dot truefire dot com and became an instant fan. I hope he does not mind too much, me butchering his song.

Excellent cover! I saw this guy in CT a few weeks ago w Andy McKee and Antoine Dufour. This song sounded so damn cool it's been on my to do list to learn it. Thank god he's got the tab on his site, learning that by ear would take forever :(

Nice job, I'm working throug this tune myself. I like your improve, you play it much faster than I do.You skipped the minor key change. It's my favorite part. Maybe you will re-post when you have that down.
