Home made Route 66 'cigar box guitar', playing through an amp with moderate distortion. Still on my learning curve, but enjoying the ride so far!

Thanks Ron - good to know it was recognizable!Ā  Also listened to Blind Willie's version.Ā  ;-)

Nobody's Fault But Mine. Originally played by Pagey, triple tracked with a slide, and based loosely on Blind Willie Johnson's "It's nNobody's Fault But Mine."

Thanks Uncle - not sure this was the ideal way to show its true sound, with the distortion and all, but I'd just recently learned this riff, and thought it benefited from that 'gnarly' growl.Ā  Acoustically, there's definitely a nice metallic rezo tone...

Really nice low down tone!
