GUEST, I've found that, for me, the best way to approach Hurt's music is to understand his basic style and the standard licks he uses to construct each piece. Once you've done that, you'll be able to "see" his fingers with your ears. Learning new Hurt tunes will become much easier. You may not wind up with a note-perfect transscription but is that what you're really after?

I'm not sure if this is the John Hurt version, but here is a previous thread with a couple of versions and links to more.

I just today heard this old song done by Mississippi John Hurt and really like his guitar work. Trouble is I can't figure it out. I am talent challanged. I need Mudcat help. Jeepman

Nothing racist about this request. I just like the old song and want to play it. J
