    I'm nearly 70 and have been finger picking guitar since I was 17. I have lost some mobility and strength in my wrists and you made it possible for me to learn and play this beautiful tune.
    Thank you Rob,
    Mike.

    I've been a finger picker for over 55 years. My fingers are automatic. The toughest part for me with this has been teaching my fingers a new pattern. They seem to be adapting well, so, don't give up, your brain will create new pathways, (just like learning to type in typing class in the olden days. Yes, high school offered typing classes).
    I love this piece so much and have wanted to learn it for so long that I'm thrilled with each measure I get down pat. So, thank you Rob, for introducing an easier way to play this without the bar cord thing. Too, your downloadable charts you offer for free, easily explains how it all comes together. I never dreamed a piece so difficult could be so easy, with just a little effort. Brilliant! Thank you!

    This piece is one of the most frustrating I have learned. One day I can play is ok with a bit of struggle, the next day I am fret buzzing like crazy.
    Your version is genius.

    Hi Rob. This is exactly how I play this. I capo to 4 like you and tune down low 6th & 5th to E & B respectively. Works a treat! Thanks for your wonderful post mate. Cheers from sunny Sydney Australia 🇦🇺👋🎸

    What a brilliant teacher, I have been playing for some time now, only picking the guitar up when I was fifty. I have loved this tune for many years but the finger picking was always a little advanced for me as I had got into a rut strumming. The sheets of tabs I have down loaded so all good there and followed your picking rhythm, still working on that, so I feel that after time spent practicing I will get there. Can I say that yes there are other teachers giving tutorials on this tune but none come close to your absolute brilliance in getting it over to students.
    Thank you so much Fennah you have inspired me, I am now in my seventies and it goes to show that with the right teacher opening the right door you can teach an old dog new tricks or in my case old man. God Bless you and keep your sense of humour it makes learning so much fun.

    Excellent video! I have got this version in a guitar magazine from 1982 (synchronicity, great minds, etc!), but your teaching style has inspired me to REALLY get this into my fingers! The picking patterns are useful for my classical technique too. One thing I would say is, regarding the high bit, that I'm playing this at the 14th fret on a classical, using fingers 3 and 4 on strings 1 and 2 for the first chord. It may not suit everyone, but many will find it ok.

    You have a talent for communication, my friend. Very nicely done. I'm 75, do open mics for charity, and your work enables me to bring more music to more people, recreate the sounds and moods that people love, with minimal fistfight with adding new material. You nailed the sound, mood and feel without the contortionist thing. I fudge a lot and no one notices or cares, because the "feel" is what they came for. "Well played, my friend. Well played." :)

I’ve been playing with capo on 4 trying to bar and stretch and I could only get to a very choppy version. This is making all the difference for me!

    One thing I found is that in the settings I can slow the play speed right down and helps me focus and play along on the right hand picking. Just thought I would share for other beginners who might not know 🎸
