Richard that is beautiful. I've played the song as abreak song for a long time but never that soul full. Only in my dreams. Do you have it tabbed out? Or is it available in that version. And your ZB sound super. Dick Sexton

Many Thanks Guys :D :D

I'll have a go at tabbing it out, there's a couple of places where I drifted off the melody, so I'll have to listen to that carefully to see what I played.

I don't recall any half-pedalling, but there is one place, at 1 minute 34 seconds, where I use strings 2 and 5 in unison (with the second string dropped a full tone by a knee lever, and the fifth string raised a full tone with the A pedal)

Richard, I too thought that was very very tasty playing, great sound from your ZB.
Let us know if you get it tabbed out.

I've tabbed the first two verses, more to follow as soon as time allows :D

I've put the video timings under the tab to make it easier to follow
