Lonnie, all I did was show these fellers where the notes were. They did the rest. I'm so proud of them. They play coffee shops and little bars mostly. As they were unpacking their gear the other day somewhere, there was a voice they heard that said, "Good!! No guitars."

Glad to hear someone else feels that way!!

 oh I see you handle the slide or whatever its called in the 2nd section differently. Yes, that was what was giving me the most trouble. I was watching Rhiannons version to learn this tune.  But now I see you and Tim both use a different way . I could not seem to get the finger brush right.  Ill be practicing this at lunchtime   thanks

I have best success with what I call "rolls' by squeezing all 4 fingers together as I strike down and then the thumb catches the 5th string.  If another roll does not follow I loosen up my fingers.  I suppose everyone has their own method but I struggled until I discovered this technique.

 Guys I tried to get that B part yesterday,, are you doing  a thumb strike on the D  then a guitar upstroke on the F# and then a reg. index strike  on the A That all I could figure out ,, but you seem to have a better way
