Sun circles
I've always known this as "Circle Round the Sun". Remember versions by James Taylor and Leo Kottke.
Love your take on this "chesnut." Very musical playing and singing. Enjoyed this post.

As a new player I tried to copy a friend playing this song. He in turn had done his best to emulate John Renbourn. So each of us moves a bit further away from the 'original'. That's the folk process, I'm glad to say! Thanks John.

Thank you so much, Feter. The picking's easier than it seems, so it isn't hard to record voice and guitar in one go. But it's an unusual riff for a blues and sounds good!

Whew that is great technique!!!
Love the style ken!!!! That swaggered picking pattern wonderful. Great dissonant cord too. Could explain the finger pattern that you started the song with?????

I'll send you the tab for the finger pattern and chord shapes if you'd like to send me your email. (Just click on the envelope at top right of this page.) Thanks for your kind and encouraging comments, Martin!

I know John Renbourn's version of this well. Your version is very accessible to me because it is in a John Renbournish style but is not an exact copy so it has a freshness to it (your vocal is better than John's!).
I'm definitely a fan!

Huge thanks, Steve! I've been busy elsewhere and it was really good to come back and see your post! I've written out the guitar tab for this- and it isn't hard to play I assure you! Do let me know if you want it sent as a pdf.
