Doc Watson's Travelin Man by Sleepy - Video
Hi GFB'ers,
Not sure if Doc Watson wrote this fun tune but he certainly performed it thousands of times and his signature playing is all over it.
Here's a version I learned from an overseas guitar buddy. Hope you enjoy it. Quality of the video is not great and I really do need to buy myself a video camera and not rely on a webcam.
I'm including a couple of extra vids so you can see that it really isn't that difficult to play. It can be quick though, so needs loads of practice. It's full of 7th chords and couple of discreet bends (which you don't have to play).
Capo 3rd fret.
Travelin Man
Sleepy.

Very good stuff!
Hey- I may play slow, but I sure am imprecise!

Nice job Sleepy! Nice singing and playing, had a real lively bounce to that one. Nice to finally see you wearing pants in one of your videos! Must be chilly in jolly old England!

Thanks everyone. Glad you enjoyed it. I don't profess to be a good player, so if I can share just a little of my playing/knowledge of what I know/can play, then that pleases me big time.
CT - he he......my shorts were gobbled up by the washing machine that day

Really good Sleepy, an absolute toe tapper. BTW did you ever play M*A*S*H at your son's school concert a few months back? Let us know how it went.

Oh yeah, nearly forgot about that. I played it at the beginning of show just off stage through an amp and the acoustics echoed beautifully across the stage into the audience. I was very nervous even though no one could see me. At the end I played it sitting on stage whilst the kids animated the end credits. I was twice as nervous then 
Anyway I did get a few people come up to me at the end and complemented me on my playing. I even promoted this site and told them if they wanted to learn it to come here for one of Kirk's great lessons 
All in all, a good evening was had by all.
Thanks for asking,
Sleepy.
