Robert Johnson cover ish. One take. Blues on Uncle John’s Roi-Tan Red 3 string CBG. Unplugged, used mic to mixer, added reverb.

Thanks Derek, it’s a sweet little player! Uncle even added an extra fret for a nice high note. This does show me why I need to play to a beat!  I’m good at math, and I realize it’s simple math, but if I’m playing, and especially singing also, the beat doesn’t necessarily match from one minute to the nest ha!

Getting a lot of good sound out of those 3 strings and sounds like Unc made a good player!

Perfectly said c#merle! A vintage song can’t be topped. I think it’s a great compliment to interpret someone’s song your way, sorta expresses how that song made you feel. Appreciate it Merle, thanks!

BrianQ, thanks! Ha, that’s what wives are for! Keep you centered from your rambling ways!  Darn! Rambling together, have her take the southbound train, you take the northbound train, you meet  back up full circle. My wife is still southbound ha!

My shirt is looking good, no comments about my shirt and hat matching Uncle!  How to confuse a vegan, it just seemed  to fit there!  Cauliflower Designed to look like a  lamb! I always inject humor when I can! Things on my  mind.....I’m just digging a deeper hole. Your welcome, my pleasure to show off something you put heart and soul and skillful craftsmanship  into and gave me! I hope I do it justice, I really enjoy it and appreciate it so much. Now it’s always hard to look a gift horse ......an old set of Speedo swim briefs! Ha! What! No Pawn Shop Uncle John jock strap! I appreciate the jester Uncle, and take it as a humbling compliment that I could even fill your pants!  I would of course honor them and wear them, unless they’re pink! I know what this is all about Sir!  You want me to record bottomless rather than headless ha! If it’s  even possible after I finish recording, I could use these as a sorta flag and proudly raise them each morning at the West Coast Branch Pawn Shop! Love your humor John, many big laughs from this  one, excellent!  On second thought, I’d have my CALLYFEST beach suit!

Hello Dr,Blues!  The first train is usual the best! That’s a great name you have! I should have thought mine out more, it sounds like a Swedish  orthodontist.  Thanks so much for your comments!

Thank you Jason! I’m experiencing rambling mouth with some of my comments.  I’m glad you liked it!

No no Wes! I’m no teacher! It works for me because I’m impatient. Play hard and fast like say Eric Clapton, it’s going to suck and people around you will wish you well, but they’ll want you to leave. Pretty soon after....say six months ha, your fingers can play strong and fast, and your going to have developed some nice little riffs. I been playing for 40 years say, picked up some chords along the way. I played only the E chord for years. This is exactly opposite how to learn guitar! I’m an example of bad advice, but, like you say, it’s too late to change for me. Practicing is the  operative word though, unless ones gifted. I’m also an example of ungifted ha! Work hard play hard have fun right! Wes, that’s a very special compliment I value so much, thank you!
