Please leave your comments and thanks for watching.Classic guthrie song taken from an earlier Carter family tune,its played around the c and f chords with plenty of hammering on,the melody is picked out using the thumb while the fingers strum the rhythm in a scratch style.a real fun one to learn and play.
