Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor Fingerstyle Guitar Lesson

The song is essentially a 16-bar chord progression repeated round and round. There are some nuances to watch out for as Hurt plays through but it’s more or less the same as I’ve taught it in the lesson throughout. Feel free to add some changes in the picking hand as you wish.
