Just came in from turning my compost piles and found your post. My daughter lives in Idaho, South of Boise... Now I have another reason to add to the many, why I love Idaho. Glad you liked it and hope you get a great number of miles out of it. Thanks for following Beginners Notes.

Tabliture # 462

Post by Tommy Auldridge »

Dick: Are you aware that the first line there can all be done at the 5th. fret? The note on the 4th. string at the 6th. fret with the F knee lever is available on the 1st. string at the 5th. fret. I just alternate thumb on 5 middle finger on 2, thumb on 4, middle finger on 1, thumb on 4, middle finger on 2 and then thumb on 5 then release the A pedal, 6 release the B pedal then 7 and 8... does that seem right? I really like your tabs, and work with each one you post. It's all good stuff. Thanks, Tommy.....

Thanks Tommy

Yes sir I am... But it is good exercise.

It's always good to find every position, where anything I put up can be played. One of the reasons for them in the first place.

Tommy, your explanation might have triggered thought in another player. How great is that!

Thank you for following me. :D
