Yup, I'm with Unc. Very enjoyable and well done! Good job Matt. Cool sound with the weed whackers.

Unc it is just G, F and C over and over. Not a hard one to do at all. I love this song and have sung it for a long time which helps..

Wow! - In several directions.   First off, happy Easter.   Secondly, you claw hammer style is SO good here.  It's kind of funky, percussive, syncopated.   I want it!

Thirdly, that is a really good song and I was trying to learn it awhile back.   I failed, but maybe will come back to it some day.   That's how it goes for me some times. 

Fourth, that song must have been in the back of my mind because with out purposely doing it, I've borrowed some elements and story line for a song I have written and now am trying to learn to play.  Different tune and style.  Gees, it's hard to not borrow here and there.

Last, your best vocals yet.  This vid is like a small treasure for me.

Thanks RTZ I love the sound they get. I also find that they slide nice and easy on a fret less.
