I love the guitar work on this tune. Acoustic music is so underrated today.

[@Goldmarkart]

Agreed!

How can this get twenty six thousand views and only 145 'likes'? It's total class.

[@jarradparkin4867]

I wish so badly I was there for this! Only 65 people, are you kidding me? I've seen Richard live many times, just 10 days ago in Northampton MA, for a solo show, whre he absolutely tore it up. Definitely one of the best musicians to ever grace our ears.

Is this early fusion folk rock/ PUNK! ? quite quite excellent,

[@VisitSouthDevonTV]

I have been slowly trying to learn this for some time. Does RT use a dropped D normally when he plays it? I read somewhere not, but it sounds like it has so much more bottom end.

[@jonathangould4050]

D,G,B and top E standard A down to G and bottom E to low C

[@richiegudgeon6963]

​@@jonathangould4050cheers man. I only heard this version for the first time on Sunday morning (mothers day here in Oz) what a way to start the day!!
