I play this on the banjo as a clawhammer piece but I think it works really well on the diatonically fretted cigar box guitar tuned DAdd. It's a lovely old tune!

Beautiful. I love that kind of song, tone and playing.

Thank you everyone for the kind comments. I love my dulcimer-type CBGs which were both made by Chicken Bone John here in the UK. He's still very much in business and makes really fantastic guitars.

Now that's playing! I need to be your padawan apprentice desperately. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Mightily impressive stuff.
