I got lucky with this. This is about the only time I've managed to get all the way through it.
I tried playing it yesterday and it was a disaster with every section going wrong.

Mark,
I nominate this as the lead track on the yet-to-be-invented TARGET album.
That was just awesome. Great job.

Wow.....I really enjoyed that. Very impressive.
Look forward to the time when I can play ANYTHING on the guitar for three and a half minutes without any errors.
Can't believe you posted it without giving us any information on your guitar though!
Thanks for the post. I'd better go off and practice now.

The guitar is a little known make called Moondog.
They were a short lived company in Cardiff, Wales.
They sold exclusively on ebay (cutting out the middle man).
They made great claims for their hand made guitars and seemed to be doing very well at one time, but unfortunately have gone bust now.
This model was the ninja, which was touted as the perfect fingerpicking guitar with it's slightly wider neck.

wow Mark, that's fantastic.
Can I ask, how long has it taken you to get the song to that standard. It's a great song and something I aspire to be able to play in the future.
Great job, well done.

The first time I heard this song was when I saw it as a free lesson on totally guitars. That must have been about 6 months ago. I remember thinking that it reminded me of Anji by Davey Graham when I first heard it.
I learnt the first two sections then and then the rest when the full target lesson came out.
Before joining the target program I played almost exclusively fingerstyle and a lot of alternating bass type stuff. So learning it hasn't been too difficult with that background.
