Hi All,
I've had a couple of requests for this. It's a very simple song
based on 1st, 4th and 5th (C, F, G). It is repetitious and you
could find it boring if you don't vary sincopation and occasionally
hit double notes with your thumb on alternate notes. Listen to the
CD if you want more details. I got this off Return of the Repressed
Give it a bit of bounce and it's a great song to play.
Enjoy
Damien
