This was my favorite song my uncle used to play when i was young every time he had a guitar in his hand id ask him to pick me the wild wood flower those were good memories

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thank you for checking out my channel. That's a very fond memory. Wild Wood Flower is a very good song for me as well, and I have many fond memories of it. I want to keep playing it forever.

[@peaceprayers]

One of the first songs I learned to play a guitar picking. Was this song a teacher took at least 4 hours just working on this with a small group of us and we all learned it. Still Plat it age 76

[@HappyHill-Records]

That's a good memory. It's truly amazing that you continue to play even after getting older. @@peaceprayers

[@Gothic_Splatter]

This made me cry so hard. My dad played this on guitar for me when he was alive. Its beautiful without the sentimental feelings. Great job!

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thanks for your commenting!!!! Domo Arigatoh!!!!

[@vanessaguzzo85]

My dad used to play this often. He passed in 2016 and today was the first time I’ve heard it in years. Sunday’s were always dads day, so I’m extra happy that I found a video of someone playing this almost exactly as he did.

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thanks for your commenting!!!! Domo Arigatoh!!!!

[@mikebruse2939]

Outstanding performance!

[@lloydshoemake6256]

I cant stop Liston to him playing My Dad played this for all 5 of us kids when we was little he past away 12/23/1983 this was the last thing he ever played

[@Highlander9740]

They can play this one at my funeral. Glad you have a memory of him from this song. I know what you mean.

[@themeadowlarkminutewithpau8184]

Same experience with me! My dad grew up in Boone county WV. He always played this when we were pickin' and grinnin'. I lost him about a month ago. This song reminds me of him so much. I need to learn it really well so I can go visit my WV relatives and sit and play it with them. I've lived in NC most of my life, but after losing my dad I've really wanted to embrace my WV Appalachian heritage. I love this song so much!

[@Colleen-ln7wk]

Do this soon. We always think we have 'more time' until it runs out. As we grow older we appreciate things like this more. We realize how important our family is. Enjoy the time you have with them 'pickin and grinnin'

[@dewaynekerr8196]

my dad would play this one all the time when I was little. Still to this day it calms my nerves and takes me back to when I was only 3. I hope one day I can share this with my child when I have one.

[@ccollins7588]

My dad past in 2020 and this was one of the first songs he learned on the guitar back in the 60’s. I always remember him playing this growing up. I have heard a lot of versions of this song but when I listen to yours and close my eyes it sounds exactly like my dad. Thank you for sharing!

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thanks for your kind commenting!!!! ありがとう！！！！！

My Dad played this. He taught my brother and me. I miss them both.

[@scflute]

This brought back a lot of memories. My dad and uncle used to play together, and this was one of their favorite songs to play together.

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thanks for watching. Your father and uncle must have been wonderful people. I also think it's a very nice song. Please check out my channel again.

[@macmacdonald4996]

VERY Nicely done...remember it around extended family n friends campfires growing up.....our "Uncle Bill" always played this every time...often at least 3 times...as he was closing and asked for requests....I always asked for this..and he always Obliged...sometimes a bit weary, but ALWAYS with a smile....he helped install and expand my personal love of Music..and put me singing... great memories....THX

[@tundrabear1]

Sweet! My dad played this song all his life and we never knew what it was. This brings me back. Thanks.

[@froggyfroger1]

My grandpa used to pic this out all the time, whenever my two uncles (his sons) would visit him and my grandma on Sundays. I think it was his favorite. 😊 Brings back memories

[@HappyHill-Records]

Thanks for your commenting!!!!! Domo Arigatoh!!!!

[@retaliaterguitar2]

Ain't that the truth. My old grandad was the same. I play alot of hard rock and 80s heavy metal as well as outlaw country these days and I can't fake my way through old songs like this one and my favorite, Red River Valley. But I'll be damned if I can ever figure out how to pick like my grandpa did.

[@sebs2306live2]

Tyson Bastien my Grandpa played too !!!

[@Colleen-ln7wk]

I have to listen to this every so often. My brother used to play this and this is as close as I could come to how he played. Thanks so much for posting this. Love it!

First song I ever learned to play and I learned it by one note at a time off an original 78 rpm record by the Carters..... I wish I had a dime for every time I played in in my 80 years of life....

Made famous by the legendary Carter family . Johnny Cash's wife June was a member of this pioneering country music family.

To hear this played on a 6 string, a 12 string, a mandolin, a banjo and an autoharp in unison is just pure magic

+nissing15 I am learning this on the guitar and am wondering if you have any tips you can share. I have the melody down, just having trouble with strumming and keeping the rhythm with it. Do you have the original version? I'd to slow it down to see what exactly you are doing.
