You should make a short lesson video on how to play the tune Mike ..!   I would be one of the 1st to put it to good use ..lol

Mike ... your 1st rendition was pretty nice to mate ...!!  I guess your tuned to GDG ...? mines set at CGC at the minute, but I think I'm going to change the strings to get a deeper sound.
