You will receive two versions with your single download - one in just notes and the other in notes and TAB.

Recently many exam boards allow candidates to submit their own choice of published music for performance. I would recommend this for ABRSM (or other boards) approximately Grade 3 level.

This version eliminates some of the advanced technical challenges found in other arrangements such as full barré shapes for extended periods and five-fret spreads. It adds other elements of musical interest such as dynamics, articulation and cross rhythms.

A recording and YouTube tutorial video will be uploaded before the end of September 2020.

Oneof the most versatile and most widely used acoustic guitar accompaniment stylesis ?Cotton Picking??a staple for any fingerstyle guitarist. This accompanimentstyle was so named after the woman who first popularized this technique in theearly part of the 20th Century, Elizabeth Cotton. Born Elizabeth Nevills on 5January 1893 near Chapel Hill in North Carolina, Elizabeth was a self-taughtmusician, singer, and songwriter who developed this unique accompaniment style.Also referred to as ?Travis Picking? and attributed to Merle Travis, thispattern-based fingerstyle guitar accompaniment should most certainly beattributed to Elizabeth Cotton and not Merle Travis. This arrangement of 'Freight Train' by Dennis McCorkle for solo fingerstyle guitar is an excellent representation of this style of playing. Includes standard sheet music notation and Tablature with fingeringsfor both the left and right hands.
