Candyman by Mississippi John Hurt

Guitar: Yairi GY-90

I want to thank YouTube for featuring my 'This-n-That' video. I never dreamed this little clip would be so warmly received by the YouTube community. As a hobby guitar player, being seen by nearly a million viewers in less than 2 months could only happen here on YouTube.
Of all the comments that come in, the ones that speak of my videos encouraging them to either take up guitar or renew their interest in it are the most heartwarming. To hear that someone is inspired by them is deeply humbling. Thank you.

You are just a great guitarist, you are right up there with Tommy Emanuel !

@garry9156 Although I am unworthy...its an honor to be mentioned in the same sentence with the great Tommy Emanuel.

I took up guitar on becoming a dad at 48, 2 years ago, so my son would have music around as he grew up. I've been teaching myself finger picking and devouring all the examples I can find,. I have become an instant big fan of your playing, I think because it is absolutely in the slot, yet so full of uniqueness and personality. You've shown me where to go next; and that is to play my covers but make them mine and to have as much fun as I can doing it. Thanks so much for that.

Thanks so much for your comment. I don't have the words to tell you how much it means to me.

This is my own 'by ear' version of CandyMan. There may be tabs for the original somewhere.
