Son Volt - Windfall

I always wanted to learn this one so I finally did.

Good job, Michael. Sounds like you got the parts right.

That song was one of the first ones I learned too, but I didn't have the 1st string raise a the time, so had to find an alternate way to do that lick in the solo.

If you watch a lot of live Son Volt vids from the classic era Eric Heywood bends the 1st string with his finger quite a bit.
Rejoice in the Lord, O ye righteous; praise is meet for the upright. Give praise to the Lord with the harp, chant unto Him with the ten-stringed psaltery. Sing unto Him a new song, chant well unto Him with jubilation. For the word of the Lord is true, and all His works are in faithfulness. The Lord loveth mercy and judgement; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
- Psalm 33:1-5
