  • Very good cover. I am trying to learn some Townes VanZandt songs myself and I'm having a difficult time trying to establish a fingerpicking pattern similar to his. I keep trying to Travis Pick with an Inside Out Pattern but that's clearly not his common style.

    I can tell by your other videos you have the feeling and emotion like VanZandt had. I'm impressed.

  • Cheers Kylejbates.

    I'd say that this is basically Travis picking.

    Sometimes he alternates his thumb between 5th- 3rd- 6th- 3rd which is more unusual (see Am at 10 - 13 seconds ).

    All the best,

    Jon

  • great song, love the fingerpicking

  • I agree banjopicker88

    Cheers.

  • fantastic guitar work. Do you have a tab for that?

  • Thanks ned.

    I haven't at the moment. I don't tend to use them. See the comment below.

    PS I've checked out some of your stuff. Pretty good. Liked Little Green especially.

    All the best,

    Jon

  • I think I like this cover more than the original. Beautifully sung and played.

  • I absolutely love this song and love your rendition. I have been trying to learn how to play it and wondering if you would mind sharing the chords or other tips on how you play it. You have a wonderful talent and a great gift.

  • Any chance you could post a video going through the picking pattern slowly, without the hammer ons etc?

  • I can only concur with all the other comments; good cover. I'm having trouble figuring out the finger picking on this one, and you're one of the few people on youtube who I've seen play it the way it should sound.

  • This is a beautiful cover of this song. I think I like it more than the original. Good job.

  • I meant tab

  • Enjoyed it so much. Do you have a tan
