Finger-Picking Samples
 StagoleeThis is delta blues style finger-picking song with alternating bass and separate melody. It is an interpretation of the original song played by Mississipi John Hurt. I just rerecorded this song in acoustic.
 Freight TrainThis is a finger-picking style song with alternating bass and separate melody. This is my unique version of the song. It has been recorded in countless variations by artists ranging from Chet Atkins to the Grateful Dead.
 Freight Train 2This is another version with a little more embellishment and syncopated picking. You be the judge of which sounds better, I like them both.

 James Blues This a blues tune written by my guitar instructor, James Scott.
