TGNessa,
What a wonderful choice for a lesson! I actually hadn't heard of Sarah either until you mentioned her to me very recently (I live under a rock). But since then I've been listening to all three albums and REALLY enjoying her music. This song is very captivating in particular.
It sure looks like a fingerpicking workout. The sound is worth it. I LOVE the sound of the sliding chord shapes in the chorus and those prominent high notes in particular, just beautiful.
You've broken this down really nicely. Thank you, I'm sure I'll be able to get it down slowly soon enough. It's anyone's guess how long it will take me to get it up to speed and sounding like bluegrass, with smoke coming off my fingers like your intro.
Sarah J has many more beautiful songs on her albums, there's some more good material there for TG lessons, not being greedy or anything just saying. (I guess I should learn and upload this one first right ? )
I'm loving this fresh material you're finding Nessa. I'm so glad you're here to lift the rock off my head occasionally. Sarah's great.
Oh and now I'd LOVE to play a octave mandolin too. Ness you'd make magic with one of those in your hands.
Thanks!
Shel

Very sad, only 28 years old, very unexpected and sudden.
I was told at the funeral that he played the ukelele, guitar and harmonica and sang too.
They played Spirit In The Sky at his grave side.

Hey Ness.
I to have not heard of Sarah Jarosz. But got to checking her out on the U tube. Great song. Found her doing this song with Alison Krauss .
I'm really enjoying learning this song (and singing it in the shower, walking to the bus, ). It feels good to play.
At half speed I'm doing Ok. Haha! now I just have to get it up to speed, get the playing and lyrics on work in automatic mode and ... Put it all together. ! Ahhh!
... No sweat. ... Right?
Great song.
