Actually, the tune is titled "Henry" - one presumes after (King) Henry VIII, who is reputed to be the composer of the tune "Greensleeves" on which "Henry" is based. Quittenton's widow said he was such a marvellous guitar player but, completely not interested in notoriety and I'd have to agree with her. He was shy and retiring.

The late Martin Quittenton was such a marvellous classical guitar player and so under-rated. I'd ask subscribers to listen to tracks like "Dirty Old Town", "Lady Day", "Cut Across Shorty", "Mandolin Wind", "Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time", and "Italian Girls" (where he really plays some 'rock 'n'' roll classical guitar riffs - hidden in the mix).....

I've been trying to nail this intro for years (really) and this video helped a lot on the 12-string section, and I finally nailed it, THEN, I took a 10-min break and clicked on a random post showing on YT. A music post popped up about how Maggie Mae was the B side on Rod Steward's Reason to Believe and how a Dj in Cleveland first played it and launched it into stratosphere fame. Before I started going off on a tangent about hidden forces, I tried to pick this apart, coincidence (dont believe in them) or what? Conclusion, the web is now so advanced that data mining and direction vectors are closing in on any topic you choose to watch, metrics are probably time, topic, tree position, tone, plus+++. Anyhow, I'm thoroughly engrossed practicing MM intro.

The solo is one of my very favourites, fits the song as perfectly as, for example, Harrison's in "Something", or Dave Davies beautiful work on "Waterloo Sunset" (a big influence for this solo I reckon.) Shows that you don't need to play a lot of notes to do a classic solo. The song intro even looks playable to a non-classically-competent guitarist like myself. Thanks!

The intro you show on the 12 string seems to nail it. Great job.
