In 2018, Bryan Sutton inspired us to start a unique video project: Ask nearly every musician who came through the Fretboard Journal to give us their take on the same tune. We locked into “You Are My Sunshine” as the song of choice and have been busy filming (and editing) over a dozen interpretations (and counting) from the likes of Joe Henry, Bill Frisell, David Grisman and others. Here’s one of our favorites: an instrumental version from Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers) featuring his 1928 National Tricone plectrum guitar.
Don’t forget to watch Sutton’s version here.
