  • sorry for all those who've asked for tabs; not been on for ages and never noticed messages ;-( all lost when switched computers. if i do get round to re-tabbing any i will post the links up with the video descriptions in the future. -muso

  • that was fantastic! im trying to play this at the moment, but getting stuck on the 2nd part after the intro, its quite tricky as i dont do much fingerpicking, would you recommend any nice acoustic stuff like nick drake?

    well played n keep it up!

  • Well I love Elliott Smith, the king of misery and also a great guitarist. Jose Gonzales's album is challenging and good for technique too. Cat Stevens is fantatic practice and not too hard to play.

  • How do you tune to DGDDAD?

  • Not sure what you mean. I don't think I've ever tuned to DGDDAD. I guess you could, but the G string would be very loose. I play Road in EADEBE with a Capo on the 2nd fret.

  • great touch. so far he best version i have heard. can you tell me the picking pattern? I have been searching for it such a long time.

  • I can send you the picking pattern I use, which includes all the variations, and there are many. Though for those with eagle ears I did make a few mistakes. If you send me your email address, I'll send on my own tab. Same goes for anyone else, and any other song
