Not familiar with that song Reg. I'll have to check it out on YouTube. Hope you had a blast at the open mic. Good to hear you're still performing.

There is quite a few little tasters during this session. I also hear a little gem by Mungo Jerry 'Baby Jump' as well a ways into the clip. About 2.5. minutes in, it is only a swift feel of the tune, but it was enough to start me off. I played it last night at The Blaxhall Ship open Mic session. I played the Green CBG that has materialised back home again. I had to repair the pickup wiring, but it is still good...!!!!

I just played the clip again, it is brief, but about 2.23 in...!!!

Thanks Reg. I do play "Nobody's fault but mine" now but the structured song I played in this one, other than some 12 bar nonsense, was "Wish I was in Heaven sitting down". I think (though I'm not positive) that I learned "Nobody's fault but mine" after recording this video. I'm not sure if I've made a video playing that song yet though.

Thanks for your continued kind words and friendship, Reg. It means a lot to me. Hope you're well :0)

I have no idea if you are improving or getting worse, but I am sure I hear 'Nobody's Fault But Mine' in there somewhere. So, I guess you are pretty good then....!!! Keep her up, it suits you...!!

Still got two three stringers in the living room along with the sound system (which I'm in the process of updating and making fully mobile too (going battery operated)) so not going to be without a guitar by my side :) Six stringers are in storage (the closet), one guitar dismantled (ready for improvement through rebuilding with the parts) and three now sold. I've got two books from Brett Robbitailue (probably got his name wrong) on CBG and I've paid for membership to Learncigarboxguitar.com. I'm all set!

Thanks for the encouragement on noticing the improvement. Hopefully going to go in to warp drive by learning purposefully. Watch this space! :D

Keep the instruments that move you, inspire you, close at hand. Play what motivates you and you will get there. We hear your progress. :)

Thanks Derek. I'm going through a minimalist phase right now and put some guitars on eBay and some in the closet in storage. I keep playing for enjoyment alone and going from 3 string to 6 string then back again without dedication to learning one thing, constantly noodling and never learning. It's time to get serious about learning how to play better. Glad that you enjoyed the playing but I look forward to blowing some socks off. :0) Thanks again my friend.
