I learned this a while ago. It's not too difficult if you're familiar with fingerstyle playing or more specifically travis picking.

Here's the version I learned from:

PDF File: http://www.acousticfingerstyle.com/Mock/vincent.pdf

Midi: http://www.acousticfingerstyle.com/Mock/vincent.mid

I don't have any way to post a vid though. It's a great song and a cool arrangement.

Edit: I don't want to be "that guy" but this was written by Don Mclean and arranged for solo guitar by Chet. The original is great too.

I was just getting familiar with this again and realized that I made it out to be much easier than it is. There are some pretty difficult stretches and position shifts. It's one of those songs that doesn't seem difficult on the surface but it can kick your ass.
