"My gear is much better than my skill - for straight flatpickin', I play a Martin D-18 Authentic 1937. My go-to guitar for just about everything else (and it flatpicks just fine, thank you) is my Huss & Dalton D-RH with a Red Spruce top.…"

Great stuff Lee, and I like the thumb articulation (wish I could make mine do that). Were you able to find TAB for it, or did you do it from dots?

thanks for the nice comments everyone! I learned this from the "dots"(slowly getting better every day) and then I sit and write out the "TAB" and then I'll listen to other variations (like Kathy's) over and over until I can "hum" or "sing" that melody...then I beg borrow and steal whatever I can.

"Thanks Mike. I have to prove to myself that I can play the material as written but once I've done that I start to allow myself some leeway to have fun and drop in my own bits. There's not too much space to do that in SK's version of…"
