A #2 hit on the country charts in 1958, "Ways Of a Woman In Love" was sweetened by backup singers and a tinkling piano, augmenting lead guitarist Luther Perkins' trademark "dead-string" rhythm and sparse lead licks. This fingerpicking version in the key of A has a typical intro: the last 4 bars of the chorus. It's all easy, first position chords except for an up-the-neck (5th fret) D chord in the solo. The thumb only interrupts the constant, Travis-style alternating bass notes when there's a bass run to connect two chords.
