Hello again! I put up a poll about the next string of songs to and this one won easily. I wasn't planning on doing this song anytime soon but the more I thought about it, the more I thought this would be an excellent video!

The chords are mostly physically easy but use a harmonizer only on the top 4 strings. So I included a section where you can play the chords similarly without the harmonizer.

The solo section is also very simple in concept but very complicated so I thought the best way to go about this is to make some sort of 'interactive' solo analysis that'll get you to read AH's chart along with the solo. All this made the video very long, sorry about that! It was a pain to edit so I hope you enjoy it!

Some of you also might take some issue with some of the chord names. I figured I would add I did not take the bass note into consideration and only focus on the chords. I also tried to give the chord the most straightforward name I can, even if functionally it might not be correct.

Also, let me know what other songs you would like to see! For those that do not know, I have written a book that lists and arranges chords used by Allan. In doing that I have transcribed over 50 of his tunes.
