Wow, this is one of the best renditions of this I've heard! I'm having some trouble with the thumbing on the second string for this tune and I'd love to hear any suggestions if you have them!

Thanks Max (and Sonny and Tom too!) I found that the yellow book does a good job building up from simpler to more complex tunes. It felt really demanding of the thumb at first since I had only played Briggs. If you start from the beginning, play em at a slow pace and do the fingering just as indicated in book you should be good. I first played them however I could but the Converse style thumb use didn't really click for me until I relearned them all with proper fingering as indicated in book.
