In the USA, most people would know the Alison Krauss recording of this song from 1995.

Thanks Fast Eddie. I’ve watched the video, and I have the tab option, but Justin refers to this song on his app (which I have) at 9:02 , but I can’t find it.

Agreed APM_Steven: I have the Lessons and Songs app and Justin mentions this song is on there at 9:02. I can’t find it. I contacted his assistant and was told to suggest it as a song for the future. I couldn’t seem to explain that it should already be a song. I would LOVE this song on the app. Don’t know who to ask.

The intro of this song - picking out individual notes - is quite famous and instantly recognisable. I would normally play constant eight-note picking patterns using alternate picking throughout because that’s generally calmer (much less arm movement). However in the video Justin suggests all down strums. That’s got me wondering why - does it sound different? It shouldn’t make too much of a difference, as that’s what is practised - to make alternate picking sound as evenly as possible, although some difference always remains. Do you hear the track as down-picked only? Or is it because it is a pop-version of the song?
