One of my favourite Haggard tunes, played very well, nice tone, also loved the guitar break. Nicely done, Regards Donny.

Really nice, Zak. Particularly the stuff going on behind the melody, really enjoyed those moves. Thanks for posting.
I'd like to add, Donny does a great job of singing this one, too.

The tuning on that axe so nicely in tune, spot on G.Huntley,could always find that sweet spot I reckon its a gift some players just have it....

John, what a great comment. It made me realise that the final arbiter of that, in the pocket, sweet spot, is the bar hand, and that's controlled by the combination of ear/and fine tune hand coordination...... Aw man, I wish I had it!

Just stating the obvious Danny, Zak knock's it outta the ball park for me, he is going to be a monster when he grows up and he's already over halfway there.

oh and I like the half pedal work to get the argumentative chords.

Thanks a lot gentlemen! I really do appreciate the kind words.
And Danny, regarding tuning, you've probably already seen it, but there's a great video out there where Lloyd talks about tuning with his bar. Think he's being interviewed by Paul franklin. Very interesting.
