From new CD, available at iTunes http://cdbaby.com/tallstrom2 or http://www.tallstrom.com

TAB at http://www.tallstrom.com
A bit of Elizabeth Cotten, of Chet Atkins, of Tommy Emmanuel and a li´l bit of me... :)
I threw in a number of "licks and tricks", it´s like a song that never ends...
Thought it sounded sweet with some el. piano + shaker.

  • Is there a certain tuning? Bought your tab, tried to master it. But I got stuck on the first verse. So.. is it normal tuning?

  • @Plutoniumhf

    Hi, thank you for the support! It is normal tuning. Maybe it will help if you think of the arr. first as a chord progression, and leave the other extra show-off stuff for awhile

    The basic verse is like so

    C G7 G7 C

    E7 F C-G C

    The melody is pretty much in those chords

    Good luck!

  • Super nice version and easygoing playing. Love it! Thanks for posting.

  • Whaoo! The best version !

  • What recording setup are you using man?

  • That's IT

  • Chet would be proud, no doubt about it.

  • Cool !!!! Sometimes it needs someone, to spend new life to a song that is played to often in the same way. Wonderful version with a lot of variety and nice banjo-rolls in between.
