First heard this about 60 years ago and is one of my favorite songs. Love Josh White singing. Will definitely have to master this.

[@rchancock]

Really , really, really good lesson. Dumbed it down, dressed it up and held our hand along the way. Thank you

[@tannwich5350]

Love your singing! And the lesson of course, making a mystery very doable.

[@jameschancey251]

This was my Father's favorite song. I'm glad to learn how to play it.Thank you.

Très bien enseigne et joue en demonstration

[@mjohndenver]

This lesson really reminds me of John Fahey.

[@billyswales1]

Just watched the Arlo Guthrie version, and I would love to learn the intro, which looks to be played with the same chords as you use in this lesson. If you can find time to make a lesson for this, it would be absolutely great. Carry on the good work.

[@pierre-philippemarcou7336]

excellent, thank you very much!

[@ytchannel9616]

[@dreambigvake4243]

Wow this was so good

[@epicrick]

Awesome, thanks

[@davidlytle6931]

One of my favorite lessons. Which recorded version of this song most closely follows your version? I am trying to get the timing of the vocals down. Your backing track is a big bonus, by the way. Many thanks.

[@ІванГучок-х4е]

Thanks folk

[@harrisonsbookheaven835]

Brilliant thanks

[@keithwallace1531]

I wish you were around about 40years ago when I started playing guitar !I would have been a lot better player !I'm 72 now but still learning!life is never boring as long as there's a guitar around 😊thanks for the help

[@beckyjohnson1008]

Great lesson but I’m confused about how to count the fills . Is it 2 and uh, 3 and uh , 4 and uh?

[@maxwellescobar3089]

Fantastic lesson... please David ..how do you create your tabs on screen karaoke style...it really works for me Thanks for sharing these great lessons.

[@mcfluffelduckelmfd3928]

You seem to play primarily parlor guitars? I have one too. I like my baby taylor. But everyone seems to think the large western guitars are where it's at. But is it really true? Idk... if it's about volume then the baby can be miked. I really like the fact that the guitar is smallish. Easier for the left hand.

[@LoveFlatfootin1]

I have a beautiful Martin D28 and a Baby Martin. The Baby Martin's the one I play every day. The D28 gathers dust in its case.

[@seamusbrowne4909]

Have you got any Lessons on NITPICK'IN.???🤔🤔🤔

[@rv6864]

Great lesson, though I have a question. Are you adding the fills in place of the last chord in each line?

[@bobfletcher2768]

Fills only seem to work if the subsequent chord is Am. For example, riff #3 in bar six should go to F in bar seven, but the detail shows it going to Am. Typo?

[@beckyjohnson1008]

I am wondering about this problem too as well as the timing for the fill notes.

[@paradisefilms3355]

Key of Am??? No such thing. The Key is "C". Am is a distant relative 6 times removed.
