Slack Key #1 (Sonny Chillingworth)

Slack Key No. 1 is a classic showpiece of slack key master Sonny Chillingworth. I first heard it on the Dancing Cat release “Endlessly,” and it also appears on his 1964 solo release “Waimea Cowboy.” The Waimea Cowboy version sounds like it was recorded on an electric guitar, while the version on Endlessly was recorded on acoustic guitar. Both versions are very similar, though with some slight differences. I have incorporated elements from both versions in the arrangement I play. Hope you enjoy.

Code: LIVE 048 • Slack Key #1 by Sonny Chillingworth

Recorded with a Taylor 412ce LTD (Rosewood/Spruce, Gotoh 510 tuners, strings are Elixir Nanoweb Phosphor Bronze HD gauge set) and a Neumann TLM 102 microphone.

Hi, Nick,
Could you help me to get the tab of slack key #1? I couldn't find it from the net and Amazon does not sell Chillingworth’sguitar song book.
Do you write your slack key piece?
