I'm loving this new acoustic & the new avenues it's opening up for me. Last night, I was having a few whiskys & this little fingerpicked thing started falling out of my fingers as I was noodling around. I sat down this morning with the guitar & my Samson Go-Mic and recorded the chord sequence into Audacity, literally just making it up as I went... I had the basic verse section mapped out from my whisky fueled noodling last night. But the "chorus" & "middle 8" sections were done on the fly. I then improvised a melody with the slide.

There's a few places where the tempo gets a bit "elastic" but on the whole, I'm happy with it :)

Cheers for listening :)

That is super Johnny... this is where it is at.

Real raw blues, going back to where it all began. You got a great little tune here and that guitar sounds great. A great title too!!

Ah... you beat me to it Hook...

Would it be ok to have a couple of versions of this... I was thinking to mess around with it two (a great song I think!).
