Candyman - variations

Dedicated to friends on the Acoustic Guitar Forum. I've used the Rev Gary Davis's take on Mississippi John Hurt's "Candyman" as the basis for a fingerpicking variation or two. A bit of fun with C, F & G chords!

Great channel,just discovered it.I'm 65 going on 16 and trying to learn this fingerpicking style.Will have few excuses now,apart from troutfishing,and also learning harmonica,keyboards,bagpipes,t­in whistle,and gardening,and chasing wimmun.This sort of thing justifies the existence of the internet.Thank you and best wishes.Greetings from Perthshire,Scotland.

Good on you Mac - keep on pickin'...

Once again wonderful, if you could just touch on some of the chord changes, especially up the neck it would be great, your instramentals are great

Here goes: in 1st variation, I play an "internal" C, i.e. the barred C on 8th fret without the barre, plus a harmonic on the 12th. The next C is again internal on the 5th fret - just the 1st, 2nd & 4th strings. Then a run down on 1st & 3rd strings for the F. If I can work up the tab, I'll mail you!
