  • Not that is matters but Elizabeth was 12 in 1907 when she wrote Freight Train. But what is even more amazing is that for this little song about a train passing by her home to still be played over 100 hundred years later is a tribute to her talent. A self taught little girl playing left handed, just amazing!

  • This isn't Libba Cotten's version.

  • Sublime très bien joué j'ai bien aimé le style sublime de ce morceau d'anthologie.

    Le jeu guitare tu n'est pas à la portée de tous bravos au musicien.

  • Good rendition of it - maybe a bit too agresive though coz this song by Liz was very laid back. Play it more slowly and you would nail it.

    Peace

    Peace

  • I think it is impossible to play the song like she did, just because she was left-handed and played with a right-handed guitar without changing the strings. Anyway.. Great song, great playing!

  • one of the best youtube arrangements, well done mate

  • congratulations brother!!!

    very nice play

  • I love this song so much, but it's taking me so long to learn it! How long did it take you?

  • Good work.

    Is that a Gibson Bluesking?

  • lookit those fingers fly.

  • Not possible, she's from 1892
