July 31, 2015 at 12:00 amNothing to do with guitar, but if you want some insight into this fabulous song, check out Sammy Davis Jr.’s performance. Sammy is a ‘hoofer’, tap dancer, from childhood, and completely relates to Mr. Bojangles.

July 30, 2015 at 11:53 pmGreat lesson, Jerry, I had totally forgotten that I used to play this song. With your help, Jerry, I’m getting back to it today. It’s great for a beginner, where you can make a beautiful sound without a lot of fancy fingerings or picking. As the student learns more, there is almost no limit to the ‘fancies’. you can add. For advanced students, also check the instrumental performance piece a la Chet Atkins, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ_awPTSYU4

Thank you
