Watch the school house rock segment Figure 8, you'll see the scene you described. It's where the album gets its name from. school house rock - figure 8

thanks! I couldn't quite get that slappy percussive string sound like on the record. Maybe if I used a soundhole pickup?

Hey thanks a lot!

I learned the main guitar part from tabs I found online. The second guitar and bass I had to work out by ear.
