Wabash Cannonball

In the "strike while the iron is hot" category, here is a bit of the classic country folk song Wabash Cannonball. I was recently at a clinic given by the amazing finger-style guitarist Doyle Dykes and this is one of his signature songs. This "arrangement" is based a bit more around the version I have heard Tommy Emmanuel play. Either way, have fun with the chord shapes and don't be afraid to experiment with your picking hand fingers. The most important thing to take away from this style and song is the constant bass line of the thumb. The photo shows the chord shapes from the example I play in the video.
