Default Strawberry Curl (from Mark Hanson's book "The Art of Solo Fingerpicking")

Hi Folks, I really like this tune by Mark Hanson, and after much practice, got round to recording it! Thanks for listening

Nice job!

I remember learning that years ago. It's a fun piece to play.

Great job Nik and inspiring for me. I’ve been working through the Art of Solo Fingerstyle book and I’m two songs from getting started on Strawberry Curl (working on Good Time Blues currently and should be exploring Twin Sisters next month). I hope to be hot and heavy on Strawberry Curl this fall and I’ve already bookmarked your YT performance as a benchmark for how to do it well.

Thanks so much for sharing this!

Hi SprintBob! I also really like the version of Twin Sisters in the book - I might hopefully get round to recording it one day too! Thank you for your kind words, and all the best with Strawberry Curl - it is a really fun piece to play.
