cool version!!! It reminds me of when I first started playing this tune about 2 years ago... look into a technique called "clawhammer" because the way this tune is played is using just a very overdeveloped clawhammer technique... it's a very heady tune, the tech is minimal, though.

[MrTaylorN]

Thanks very much!  I'll look into that, I don't belive I haven't heard of that yet,

[MrTaylorN]

Wow I looked it up a bit, all down strokes on the fingers and only up strokes on the thumb, it will be like re learning the whole song, how long did it take you to re-do it with the clawhammer style?

[Guitarman504]

Pretty good cover man. That was always one of my favorite Hedges tunes.Is that low E tuned down to A?

[fouramhq]

Very slick.

[jazzpsalti]

yes! It's like that, except MH used upstrokes on the fingers too, and every now and then he'd slap on the thumb.

My playing on that isn't where I'd like it to be, so it's an ongoing process... hot type is a good tune to work up your clawhammer though. I've used the technique on many other songs. I didn't sit and relearn the whole thing, I took bits and pieces and started incorporating it, that way I could still play it like on the street when I used to busk all the time.
