June 17, 2018 at 5:50 pmThanks heaps for this lesson!
Even with a bit of knowledge reading tabs I found online tab versions of this song nearly incomprehensible due to the strange flowing rhythm. I started playing guitar because I wanted to play this beautiful dirge! I would never have been able to do it out without your help.
Thanks Jerry!
