Default Freight Train (fingerstyle / one-man band)

My rendition of the classic fingerpicking song Freight Train by Elizabeth Cotten, arranged for fingerstyle and one-man band.

Thank you! I got that idea from Chet Atkin's version of the song. He also does a modulation.

Thanks! A year ago I've decided to incorporate foot percussion after being inspired by Shakey Graves. When recording videos at home, I run the guitar through a Fishman Loudbox so it can be heard over the foot drums, and record videos with my iPad.

Perhaps I should mount a train whistle on my harmonica brace!
