Hi NightOwl ... on the 'more lessons' front ... I've been tryin' to pluck up courage for some time to ask for help with 'Black Rat Swing'. Having trouble mixing the alternate bass line with the melody mainly. A tab section maybe? PS Your's is the best version of the ones I've heard! No kidding, B-)

Night Owl ... a really helpful video for all us newbies to CBG ... I watched it over and again .. and hopefully with practice will make it sound half decent lol. I did a short video of me playing it .. not very well I may add, but its a fun one to learn on. so many thanks..! ( Do you have any more lessons in the pipeline..?).
Best Wishes CJ

Wonderful tutorial! I'm just a no talent beginner and after about 1 and a half cold ones, I had this down pat! I'm trying with no luck how to play cypress grove blues by watching your video, but a tutorial sure would help out....... thanks again!
