Nice Tone... good rocky tune... losers will be winners you know...

That sounds like a winner to me. The balance sounds good to me.

Thanks, everybody. I like the tone of this guitar, as an electric. I turn the tone knob down to about 3 or 4 to get a "growlier" response from it. It is quite metallic-sounding, acoustically (imagine that!), and it can really scream if you dime the tone knob while playing through the amp. But, it's a bit too screechy for my tastes, at that setting.

Great tone and what a cool amp too!

Great metal tone!!! (-:

Good lyrics, Jon, long enough to tell the story ~ and some times, all too true.

Got a motto for us: "Three strings, three chords and the truth." Hmmm. Three beers? Three ?

Good one! Nice crunchy tone.

Thanks, Uncle John. There aren't a whole lot of words to this song. But, here they are:

CHORUS:

I'm the born loser, Lord I just can't win

Try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

VERSE ONE:

I get up, I get knocked down again

I try so hard, I tell you it's a sin

VERSE TWO:

Think I'll get drunk, I'll drink a glass of gin

The bottle is empty, Lord I just can't win

One thing I am really working on is balancing vocals and instrumental, where everything comes through. I was hoping that amping the vocals would help...

Got that tin going strong, Jon. I had a bit of trouble getting all the lyrics, but what I did sounded good.
