Level: 2/3
Tuning: Standard

Rev. Gary Davis taught me this arrangement. It appears on his highly recommended album "Harlem Street Singer". "Tryin To Get Home" was a popular gospel song in the Carolinas, where Rev. Davis grew up. It was recorded in 1929 by Blind Joe Taggart.

Rev. Davis would approach his guitar as if it were a full Baptist church. His gospel arrangements in the key of C all have a common thread. The six strings of his guitar all represent voices with call and response threading throughout the playing.

Both of your hands will get a good workout as you study and master the playing of this piece.
