Tom Feldmann teaches Blaze Foley’s “If I Could Only Fly” from Blaze Foleys “Live at the Austin Outhouse,” a recording that was captured a few months prior to his death in 1989. Though the album wouldn’t be released until 1999, “If I Could Only Fly” was recorded by Willie Nelson and Merle Travis in 1987 and is considered by his fans as one his best.

The guitar arrangement is economical featuring a quarter note picking pattern used widely by Foley and will easily find a home in your fingerpicking toolbox.
