Freight Train - (as Elizabeth Cotten played it) | Breakdown + Guitar Lesson

Tabs and other resources available, support me on Patreon: In today’s guitar lesson we learn how to play “Freight Train“ the way Elizabeth Cotten played it. While there are countless covers of this blues fingerpicking classic, I recommend starting with the original to really get the essentials down. Cotten plays with a fluid and fast travis-picking style that closely mirrors the vocal melody.
