You should be able to learn it from this video.

Look through Stephan Grossman's webite; http://www.guitarvideos.com/
Grossman studied with Reverend Gary Davis, himself a proponent of the Piedmont style of guitar.

I often just find a one of the innumerable videos on youtube that I think i might be able to achieve and just slowly work my way through it. There is so much stuff you are sure to find one that grabs you. I don't usually try to get it note for note, and as there are many different versions of a tune I'll take what I want from differrent places to end up with my own particular version.

Lots of REALLY good instructional blues stuff at Happy Traums site:
http://www.homespuntapes.com/ Highly recommended. Check out lessons by Ernie Hawkins and Toby Walker. They also have one of the best downloadable video lesson players out there. David

The Happy Traum meterial is top notch. I have his original book from the mid '60's and, while it's a bit of a workout to complete the program, the time spent with his material is well worth it. He, Grossman and Brozman were the young white boys of folk music who learned their styles from the original black players of the day - no James Taylor styles here. Traum studied with Brownie McGhee, a wonderful instructor to have. His courses are from some of the best players in the field, several no longer with us and sadly missed. IMO you cannot find better than Doc Watson offering advice.
You can check out many of the instructors found on the Grossman and Traum sites on YouTube to see which might be your best fit for your present learning situation.

BTW I hope you enjoy your Piedmont Journey. I've been on a similar path for about a year now and it's really starting to pay off.
I would consider Skype lessons as well. I took lessons with Toby walker and nothing beats getting realtime feedback on you technique. It will help you get through the tricky bits faster and you'll have a better technique as a result...win win.

I recommend Woody Mann's Art of the Acoustic Blues Guitar series on DVD. http://www.amazon.com/Art-Acoustic-B...7266532&sr=1-3 It's what I started with.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but wanted to suggest you google "John Cephas", a Piedmont blues guitarist from Virginia. Cephas died in March 2009 as I recall, but there are many videos of his playing online. I had the privilege of seeing John Cephas and Phil Wiggins (harmonica) perform in Richmond, VA many years ago.
