Wayfaring Stranger is a song that I wanted to learn for a long time.

The fundaments for this arrangement come from David Hamburger's Fingerstyle 5 lessons.

I searched on Spotify and listened to many different versions to get additional inspiration for my own arrangement.
I liked the cover by Johnny Cash on his album "Johnny Cash - American III: Solitary Man" the best and adopted some of the violin intro and solo.


Wim.

That was very good rendition of an old classic folk song Wim, great tempo throughout. The timing of your post is uncanny. Last week we watched a movie on Netflix, titled "1917". At one point in the movie, the troops were resting in the woods before a battle. At this time one of the soldiers sang, "Wayfaring Stranger", it was haunting to listen to given their situation. I turned to my wife and said, I have to learn how to play this song. Hopefully I can learn to play it as well as you have demonstrated.

Thanks, Ron, Dave and Henk.

@Oldjock Henk, I have also seen the film "1917" and liked the pure vocal version of the song too.

I got to know this song from another movie "The Broken Circle Breakdown" about a Bluegrass band. The clip is on Youtube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LprqBP0JTw). It contains some great dobro slide playing.

Wim.

Thanks for sharing. I've been working on the fundamental version of this for a while. Hope to get to embelishments at some point.
