Do warm-up your fingers and the strings before trying these chords, as the positions the tempo, are very demanding. 2. My next step, ...is to get a mandolin to learn and try this tune upon. I'm sure that will result in a different interpretation. 3. When I'm duly inspired I'll follow-up with the 'finger picking' notation. 4. As there is a dearth of information about this tune, I'd appreciate your comments and corrections.
