You got it Kale! In these tough times, we have to diversify our operation. We are the supply chain!

Sounds like you need another dose A.D.! Don’t we all! You are very observant, it is like strumming a bass. If you took a standard 4-string bass and tuned the A string down to a G, it would match the green trimmer line string. The CBG is tuned GGB. Essentially, It’s standard GD Chugger with a bass G.

The Searchers version is the one I’m familiar with too AGP. The crazy lyrics make it fun to sing and play. Glad you enjoyed it.
