Guitar And Vocal Cover Of Across The Great Divide

I’ve always wanted to learn Kate Wolf’s guitar-picking style. Granted, she plays every song she’s written differently, but I just wanted a glimpse. Since Kate has mostly been an under-the-radar, brilliant singer/songwriter, no one has taken the time to create an accurate tutorial of her guitar method. That is until now. My go-to-teacher, Jerry Lamberth, best known for his unequaled guitar tutorial site (Jerry’s Guitar Bar,) has finally posted the first of what I hope will be many lessons of Kate Wolf’s songs.

I’ve recorded Kate Wolf’s remarkable story and several of her songs on previous blogs. To learn more about this courageous and uniquely talented person, go to: “An Unfinished Life” “Gentle Love” “Feeling the Heart” and “Through Her Music”.

Not surprisingly, “Across the Great Divide” is one of Wolf’s most popular songs. Without Jerry’s help, I would never have figured out how to play the song Kate’s way. She uses a simple and, at the same time, complex alternating base method the likes of which I’ve never seen.

I been walking in my sleep Counting troubles Still counting sheep? Where the years went I can't say I just turned around and they've gone away I been walk sifting through the layers of dusty books and fitted papers to tell a story I used to know this one that happened so long ago? She's gone away yesterday and now I find myself on the mountainside? Where the rivers change direction across the great divide? Now I heard the owl calling softly as the night was falling With a question and I replied now she's gone across the borderline?

She's gone away yesterday and now I find myself on the mountainside where the rivers change direction across the great divide? Where the rivers change direction across the great dividend.
