Beautifully done and faithful to John's fingerpicking style on this song! Thanks for sharing your well done version of this with us.

Leww3, thank you, I have been playing mostly classical guitar pieces for quite some time now, I thought it would be fun to play John Denver’s music again.
J.R Rogers, yes, John Denver wrote lots of good tunes, I guess that was the reason why I ended up in Fort Colins for 4 years, because of his songs about Rocky Mountain, Starwood in Aspen, 😂😂😂. TomB’sox, thank you, well the Spanish key is always the go to key for me.😂😂😂. I tried working it out in the key of A, but to slot in the fill ins become too unwieldy. So the Spanish key came to the rescue. |

Very nicely done! Like Tom I have never seen it played in C before, I always play it in A like JD did but I can't come close to singing it there. I like all the licks you threw in, too. Good job!

TheGTIM,
Yes there is magic in those old JD songs. I am so happy that I grew up with his songs, James Taylor, Harry Chapin, Dan Fogelberg, Simon and Art Garfunkel the list goes on and on. Listening to them now is like being in a time machine transported back to where there were no aches and pains in the joints. David, Thank you for taking a listen, the licks don’t flow well if I were to play in A, too far apart from the chords to sustain the flow. The Spanish key came to the rescue in this instance. 😂😂 |

Thank you for taking the time to listen.
I grew up with JD music among others, can’t recall how many cassette tapes I wore out trying to learn his picking most of the time ending up in dismal failures. I thank JD for inspiring me to persevere on the guitar through his songs. |

Not to be picky, but he didn't write that song. His backup singers Bill & Taffy Danoff, did.
