That sounds nice...would Love to hear that.

I can remeber being in Germany, when I first heard that song. And it was raining outside and I was watching the rain drops rolling down the window. A really lovely memory and I see it in my minds eye every time I hear the song now.

Emily, I know exactly what you are talking about. I can play that "raindrop thing" All he is doing is using harmonics on the D, G, and B string. Im not sure if you know how to do harmonics, but email me and I will teach you or help you if you are having trouble! Thanks Emily!

Hey Robinson,


They are on the 12th fret if there is no capo on (as on the DVD)

You will not hear a better version of this song, than the live recording on the 1972 S+G Greatest Hits compilation. It is simply spellbinding.

Thanks Kory, Is there anything you can´t do?? Do you preffer this version than the original? I do. I preffer the OF Variations than the originals, But that´s probably because they were new.

Thanks Again All

There are a couple things about the OF versions that I Love. There are little licks that Paul throws in while Art sings that I pick up on and can´t help but smile when I hear them. I also like that version because it gives Paul a chance to just play focus on his guitar playing and I LOVE watching him fingerpick and play. Seeing the focus in his eyes is inspirational.
