Loved it. And I love the Goofing Off Suite. The first time I ever heard Pete play mandolin was on that record. I bought the tab book to go along with the LP.
Thanks to Bruce Dumes, and Happy, for confirming it was an A6. I was thinking “huh?” about it when I first watched, so came to the comments to see if someone had raised the question, and was glad to see that it got clarified. I was scratching my head there for a second. Lovely video.
Not yet, but I'm going to be recording a lesson on songs of Pete Seeger for guitar (possibly both 6- and 12-string) and this one will surely be one of them. Thanks for your interest.
It's an H13, about 10 years old now. This particular one was custom made, with an Adirondack spruce top and cocobolo back and sides. That's the Homespun logo at the 12th fret. Thanks for asking. It's a great instrument.
Great song, Happy, and well played. Can you say a word or two about your guitar? Great tone and looks as if it plays well. What are you playing it through? Thank you for sharing. Yours is certainly a generous spirit.
My guitar is a Santa Cruz H13 and it's a great instrument. You can see it here: santacruzguitar.com/h13/ I'm playing through a Yeti Blue USB mic. So glad you liked this. Thanks!
Hello Happy! Lovely tune and nice lesson. Not to be overly pedantic, but it appears that you are playing an A6, not an Amaj7. To borrow your terminology in ignoring the capo, an Amaj7 is B string, 2nd fret, G string 1st fret, D string 2nd fret. By adding the E string 2nd fret to the standard A chord, you are adding an F#. A C E F# is an A6. Thanks for the video. Be well and stay safe! Regards, Bruce
Many and warm greetings from Igor Gladh, former living in Linköping, Sweden.
Thanks for your kind greeting. I was in Linkoping a couple of times when I was on tour in Sweden. A lovely town!
Boy, that takes me back! This partially fostered my interest in early Jazz!
Yes Happy, like that.

Thanks Happy. So nice to see and hear you play. Puts a smile on my face and I learned something.

Wonderful Happy! Thank you. I know at least half a dozen guitarists who will love this and benefit from it! Thanks again!
Great tune and tips! Thanks Happy!!!!!
Almost a fred dibnha. Did you like that catch phrase.
Yeah we did
Oh I love this one. Always been a fan of Pete Seeger, and the Guthrie family. Did you publish the tabulature for this one?
