I can actually fingerpick this song at tempo and it's the first time I feel like a real guitar player -- best feeling ever! A million thank yous to Lisa, Chris, forum peeps, and everyone at GuitarTricks!

(If the Bm is too hard to reach for, sub in an A7, it'll do ya')

It's a great song. The quality of John's songs and ability to play was underrated. He had a great sense of melody. If you can fingerpick that song, well done!!

And as a bit of childhood awesomeness; I saw a John Denver concert...front row! Must have been 1976, I think. The warm up act was the Starland Vocal Band (you know, 'Afternoon Delight'). This was before my concert going was more rock...

I also saw Sonny and Cher as well as Captain and Tenielle (Kenny Rogers as warm up!).
