Great job man! I learned this and then my sister and I did a rendition of this song on classical guitar and her singing leads.. please everyone if you get a chance stop by face book dot c0m slash siblingrevivalry and let me know what you think.. We just started out and need some "likes" to get us going! Thanks!

I fear the day my muscle memory starts to fail because I honetly don't remember how I do half the things that I do right now. XD

I know EXACTLY what you mean, lol... It's so weird when a picker writes a song with such odd syncopation or fingering that it keeps the rest of us up trying to pull it apart. :-) I think from this vid and one other I'll be able to work it out now though. - From my past experience, every time I've got to learn a new roll it's like starting all over again until it becomes intuitive. Sometimes that takes quite a while of just doing it over and over until muscle memory takes over.

@StrummingDad can u give me the tabs please?

Hi, sounds very close to the original. I like your rendition. Just a quick question, is it a travis picking style, but grabbing strings with hammer ons?

[douskara]

Good job man! Very close to the original. This thing is very difficult to catch by ear!!

I know exactly what you mean. Until 2 days ago when I got the tab from rugshort (very nice man, I'll rate your videos soon). If you look at main riff there is a note or chord every semi-quaver except just before the hammer on and just before the pulloff where there is one missing. Its not immediately obvious because the bass and tune are written separately. I tend to imagine a drum beat in the gap to keep me honest. When played slowly it doesn't sound right but it is. Good luck.
