Brilliant....is this style known as "cotton pickin"?

[sosauto]

Yes - the name probably came from the delta blues style of Elizabeth Cotton.

John you are good. Do you give lessons?

[sosauto]

I thought that's what I'm doing - :)

How did you learn this?? I can't find tabs anywhere for this song. And all the detailed fingerpicking hammerons and pulloffs are too hard for me to pick up just by watching and listening... I'll keep trying.

[sosauto]

I picked it up by ear from listening (a few thousand times :) to Mississippi John's recording on the Vangard label.

Is that a yairi alvarez DY-85 in the background? Love the yairis. Excellent guitars. I also have a 1966 D-18 although not in as good a conditon as your 00-18. Your songs are all well done. Appreciate the instruction. Thanks for posting.
