Classical Gas 3 String CBG

I'm posting this warts and all because it was the first time I got through the whole thing. I've been consumed all week with this and it's time to let it go....

I'm not even sure this should be played on a 3 string, but hey- no rules right?

Tuned 513 to open G and this just worked out all right. Mainly using those Keni Lee moveable chords.
