Many thanks for sharing this!  When I first heard the song, I knew this would be the first one I wanted to learn on CBG.  Still struggling through, but I'm a complete novice.  Would love to see something similar for "Off my Back" :-)

I agree with all the previous comments.  This song rocks!  Very kind of you to share your how-to.  We couldn't find it at the CBG Minded Michiganders meeting, but here it is, right where we were looking! :-/

Please ignore my last comment part about where to find this video, since I just found it several ways. I have no idea why we couldn't find it while at our meeting. I had hoped to have you teach all of us your song and playing technique, but to no avail. I'll just pass along to our members via the Net and Nation just how to access this fine video. Thanks      Preston

Your "How To Video" was a topic at the 2nd Meeting of CBG Minded Michigan'ders, even though we had wifi and had the Nation on my lap-top, we couldn't find this video. So where do I send our club members to find this instructional video, please?

Great lesson and love that tune. When I first saw your video it took me back to when I first heard Train Train by Fleetwood Mac, I just about wore a hole through my big sis's LP listening to it over and over. Blackfoot did an awesome cover of this song too. Something about those train songs move me.

Great Tune! Many thanks for the lesson.

I'm going to enjoy playing this one for sure.

By the way, your git was made by John DeSmet. I have one very similar to yours, and I love it!
