Default Ghost Riders in the Sky

An old favorite that Stan Jones wrote in the 1940’s. Vaughn Monroe had a no.1 hit with it in 1949. I play it fingerstyle and flatpicking style on the D-35 (with old strings, mind you

What a great old song! Very nice job Chuck! Very nice, clean picking!

Great to hear your old D-35 again, too! And I enjoyed your arrangement.

Great playing and singing! Very musical.

The old, played in strings really added to the vibe for me.

Really nice playing Chuck. What a great tune, and your version stands up to all those others very nicely.

I love those old strings. I just had to change them on my Martin dread and now it sounds like a tin can
