Thank you Turtle. It gets cramped with the capo up that high!

Thank you very much Bear! My buddy Eric Constance requested it, he's here on CBN (and he has the misfortune of working with me!). I used to play a lot of John Denver in my youth. I will have to see if any of the ones I remember transfers to 4 string. Have a great week!

As good as it gets. Thanks for sharing it and thanks to the person who requested it too! Do you do any John Denver? Similar sounds to this in as much as I can hear. Shall we call it another request? #cheekofit!

Thanks guys! Much appreciated! I used to play many of his songs way back and some of it comes back easier than some others.

Capoed way up on the 8th Uncle John... that does bunch up the fingers a bit. He does Old College Ave way up there too.

Awesome job, Derek!

Big sigh good.  You do good Chapin.  Sounds like you were feeling it.   That CBG sounds good capoed up like that.
