Great video series! Thank you very much for posting.

@erb303. Thank you so much...and you're very welcome!! If you look at my various recording of PP&P, I often say how much I love this song...so much that I just had to show other people how to play it. I tried to make it as close to the way John played it as well. That way friends can play it as John did or play it in their own style.

Wow! this is EXACTLY where I am in learning finger picking and there is NO one in my area to show me the next step. THANK YOU so much for this video. This is what I call teaching and is really appreciated. BTW you can tell how much you like the guitar also because of the emotion in your playing. Thanks again

@DrakaChan. Thank you so much! I really wanted to show how to play this song in detail as John played it. I do have a passion for playing the guitar. I love it!!

Thanks very much for taking the time put this out there! I'd love to get your home made tabs if you have chance to send them. Appreciate it!

First of all, I didn’t play the song first due to a 10 minute time limit that Youtube had at that time on videos. Second of all, this video is a detailed lesson on how to play the song note for note as John did. Third of all I won’t comment at the “level” you did, but you say that I probably don’t know how to play it, but I’m wondering why you’re viewing an instructional video…just an observation. See the video on the home page of my channel in which I play this song note for note as John did.

Pathetic. How about starting off by playing the song, if you can.

You're very welcome. Have fun and

I'll be happy to send you my revised tab if you need.
