Suggestions like "Freight Train"?

[joe paul]

If you like Freight Train, listen to all the Elizabeth Cotten you can find and pick up John Miller's dvd lesson on her tunes. That's a great way to go, his instruction is second to none.

I would think a version of "Wildwood Flower" would be perfect for this.

I can't think of a more iconic tune. People have been working on that one since at least 1928.

Very interesting suggestions... I will look into them all - thank You very much!

Scott Ainslie has several excellent tabs available for Mississippi John Hurt at his website. They are found under, "Music Instructor."

Great thread... thanks, Allan. I was a fan of Libba Cotten when I heard her story as a teenager. Wonderful player.

Here you go. Some blues and Carl will sell you the TAB sheets.

Can anyone suggest other tunes like this to further develop my fingerstyle playing and where to get tabs?

I've never learned that all the way through. I think I'll give it a shot
