Instrumental of a song that I couldn't get any singer to sing at a jam session. So I worked it out without vocals. Naturally it is unrecognizable as usual. I do take a lot of liberties when I work out a song.

Fingerpickin guitar The real thing folks.. instrumentals, Country, Southern Rock, Blues, ..... whatever.
We're mostly comprised of musicians that have paid our dues playing clubs and bars. I had quit for 25 years before finally getting any interest in picking again. Now we do not play as a group anymore, but we all have DAW's, and we send CD's back and forth to each other. When someone wants me to pick on their CD, they just mail the .bun file to me, I open it, record my part, and send it back. Since I have picked up a guitar again I have met quite a few musicians from the area that I had not met before. And I have jammed with some of them, and recorded with others. Most probably I will also do some projects with people I have met at SoundClick. As long as I like the song and feel I can ad something positive to it, I'll do it. I just get to use what I play on in my CD's as well. I work cheap, don't I? On the other hand, no one could pay me enough to pick on a song I didn't like.

Story behind the song
I had this idea for a version of this old song a while back and I wanted my singers (at least one of them} to hook up with me and do it. But as usual, they weren't up to the task, so I did what I always do. I did it myself. The formula is easy. Change the tempo, stay far away from the melody, get radical and apply some double chicken pickin licks {Double string it with your finger nails} add a melodic sliding double stops run {A little more complicated}, a dab of Duane Eddy, 1/2 oz of Ventures influence, and and sprinkel lightly with a bit of Chet Atkins finger style. Come to think of it I guess that's what makes all my stuff sound the same.... BORING!! Bummers....
