My two favorite guitar players are Clarence White and Tony Rice. I love to hear Tony talk about the influence he received from Clarence, and when you listen to Tony play, it is quite obvious. This tribute version of I Am a Pilgrim is not a copy of any particular version by those two masters, but rather a mixture of some licks and timing that they might have used or use. It is advanced for sure, but any player can benefit from the instruction provided in the timing challenges this tab presents! Go get 'em, soldier!

Got about 80% of this one down but the third measure keeps tripping me. Anybody else find that part awkward at speed?

Same here at first. What fixed it for me was practicing that measure by itself for a week, no B part at all.

Answered over in the tab thread too, but short version: play what's comfortable, the tab is a map not a law.
