How to play Classical Gas by MASON WILLIAMS on Nylon Classical Guitar (Part 4/4)

I put off learning this song for quite a few years as I knew it would be an undertaking. I started teaching it to a lesson a few years back but unfortunately he gave up on the it.

I had a request for it again in early April 2007, this time from a number of students so I finally tackled it head on and finished it in a few short weeks. Surprisingly enough it wasn't as difficult as I expected. To make this song easier to learn you have to practice it in smaller sections (phrases). Of course it helps if you have already done some finger picking previously.

Thanks a lot for your inspirational tuition. I've known this piece since it first appeared(yep - I'm that old), but never thought I'd ever be able to get anywhere near it. After many months of heartache and frustration I can now get through it maybe four goes out of ten without major catastrophes. So, once again, many thanks for making it all possible and for making an old man very happy. Mmmm - never expected to say that to a bloke.

Dan- thank you so much for the clear instruction. This is a timeless piece of beautiful acoustic guitar that now will be passed on to the next generation of players who might otherwise never hear this song. Great job.
