Love hearing from you guitar players!

I heard Mason Williams playing Classical Gas in the late sixties. I really wanted to learn that song. Asked my dad if he’d send me for guitar lessons. To my great surprise, he said yes. Bought me a classical guitar and sent me to classical guitar lessons. Not what I had in mind. LOL.

Tried learning Classical Gas on and off for 50+ years with little success. When I retired, I spent 1 hour every day learning it note by note. Took over 6 months, but I can play an OK version of it now (only 6 or 7 screw ups each time I play it). 😬

I play everything from Bach to Beatles, all fingerpicking style.

Joscho Stephan and Richard Smith are incredible! Not familiar with Rory but I’ll look him up.
