A rendition of 'Blackbird' by the Beatles, played on my 3-string CBG #21. (Shout out to Glenn Watt for the inspiring lesson!)

Richard - thanks much!  I'm sure you're right about the White Album - - one of my favorites as well!  #21 is a fun one to play, really like the Elmar flatpup pickup on it.  I would say this is probably my most ambitious undertaking to date, much more going on than other stuff I play.

No average Joe here! It takes time and patience to learn songs as well as you do. I'll look at a song and if it has more than four chords, to much work today! I'll improvise, another word for lazy! Ha! You sounded right on, I was singing the words. I like #21, very nice guitar! I think this is on the White Album, my favorite. More tunes Gary!

Thanks Uncle John - I should probably polish my recordings a bit more, until I get 'em just right.  But all you other posters are so good, I want to make the average Joe know that it's OK to post their playing!
