That's a nice tune. Can you find it on YouTube and tell us what time interval you're wanting help on?

Also, if you can find a video of LSJ playing, you can try to watch and figure out what they're playing.

If I'd stop buying old guitars to fix, I might actually learn to play.

OK, I think it's the sweeps you're looking for. Here's what I hear. What strings you play these on depends on how you play the melody.

secs notes
7.0 g c e
8.5 b e
10.25 g b
11.6 b e g
13.25 c f b
14.75 b e g
16.5 c eflat g
17.8 b d

Hope this helps.
