Excellent song. This one I will learn as well. What kind of dust was in that baggie exactly?

Yep, I just got this one about a month ago. I’ve been wanting one for a very long time and finally made it happen!…It’s a Collings CW Indian A with the sunburst. Glad you like the lesson!

Been playing this one poorly for a couple years and its always a hit when I bust it out at the fire or open mic. I might even sound like a guitar player if I learn it right, Nice work on this one. Billy is a madman.

Great lesson! I just signed up as a monthly subscriber. I do find the download of 5 per month as to restrictive. I wasn’t able to get all of the tab for this song. 🙁

FYI – About a month ago we made it to where downloads are unlimited for all membership levels so no more download limits.

Excellent add Devin ! This one really helps me with my speed ! Thank you ! I found a few videos posted and got the beginning riff he plays in live performances, it’s really similar to one of the breaks you posted, but don’t think I’ll ever get it as fast as he does ! Keep up the great work !

Hi Devin I hope you’re keeping well, just came across this on the site.
I am a big fan of Billy I saw him last night in North West London.
The set they did was amazing.
I like the way you have set this out.
I get so much joy out of your site I’ve been on board a while now.
Thanks very much for all you do.
Gerry
