I think I hear 3 guitars, a rhythem, another picking and the lead. Jorma is credited with playing all 3. Great arranging of the guitar tracks, playing and melody. Jorma/ Hot Tuna is one of the most underrated rock bands in history. It's not rock, folk or R&B, but all in one beautifully blended. To answer your question below, kids today don't appreciate talent. They are too young. If my dad had played me Dean Martin when I was 16, I would have laughed. Today I see the talent.

Well, I'm just sittin' here ponderin' about how at age 56, I can dig this song sooo much, yet play it for a today's kids of 20-30ish and they'll turn green and gag. In just 30 years of separation, how can one genre of music either turn on or turn off entire generations of people? To me, this song invokes sitting in a porch swing on the edge of a Nebraska cornfield in an old farmhouse with about 8 guys living there, passing around a dube with our ladyfriends, everyone gettin' the grins. Oh yeah!

This is one of Jorma Kaukonen's finest lead guitar pieces, typical of his late 60's style that was on "Volunteers." Papa John Creech was on the album but he is not in this song; there is a second guitar (played, by the sound of it, by Paul Kantner - it's Kantner's rhythm guitar style)weaving around Jorma's. Saw the Airplane (b4 Papa John) in Asbury Park in 1970, we got lost after and stopped in a diner and they were there exhausted; Kantner thanked us for the love but asked we leave them be.
