The First Ride - Don Ross cover

I actually started learning this in Standard tuning from the LP in '89. Some of the phrasing has stuck with me despite discovering and re-learning it again in the proper FACGCE.

Song: The First Ride
Composer: Don Ross
Album: Bearing Straight
Tuning: FACGCE
Guitar: Gash/de Jonge SSC (Western Red Cedar/Black Walnut)

Hey there, awesome cover! You're very talented, feel free to check out my Don Ross covers. But I was wondering where you purchased this sheet music? Because man, I can't find it for sale anywhere, I tried Don's gobyfish site and candyrat, so ive learned half of the song by ear and am eager to learn the rest but I need the sheet music! So where'd you get it??

[saffronboots]

@ChrisW21341 If it's not on the Candyrat site, I have no idea. got the handwritten version in the Answer Book from Don about 20 years ago.

Great job. Was this a harder or easier piece of Don's to learn?

[saffronboots]

@Gitbox56 Definitely more of a right-hand workout than most. I'm still trying to play it well.

Awesome! Best cover on youtube I've seen so far. Beautiful.

[saffronboots]

@slennie I just rediscovered the sheet music after the move and fixed up a few of the problem areas. A new HD upload is forthcoming!

Awesome cover man! I've watched a lot of your Don Ross vids and they're great. I just posted a video recently of "berkeley springs" if you wanna check it out. I want to do "the first ride" next but it's sooo hard on the right hand! haha

Man, that was really great. I learned Klimbim a while ago and it was very challenging. I need to get that one out again. Do you have a cover of that?
