@TheSpottytoad Thanx for the 411...this stuff is gold.

My all time favorite RL tune right here. Those Kansas boys Moreland & Arbuckle really tear it up big time. Witnessing them break it down with Dustin Arbuckle's blazing harp work is incredible.

@caintuck2 Thanks for reminding me to get back on this, I haven't practiced it for a while. I actually learned it both ways, and to me the nail sounds better on most guitars because its got a high pitch, but I really think he's using his thumb and just has some crazy callous on it. I built mine up but it took a while and I still couldn't get the sound like I wanted. The notes are all correct, and the swing rythm is good, but the volume and timbre of the notes sound a little off.

@Chaduke The Man is playing a whole drum kit on an acoustic guitar! I've been working on it too for a while, not so much to copy this tune; just to incorporate The Man's whole rhythm/groove thing into my own playing. Good luck to us both; we'll need it. Is it the thumb or the index with the back of the nail on the off beats? Oh well, back to the woodshed...

Its not the guitar bro, its the man who's playin it. The best music can be made with the poorest quality instrument if it is in the hands of a master.
