Sweet Home Alabama (ish) on 3 string CBG

3 strings, open tuned G D G - A quick and pretty crappy recording, but hey, Im just pleased I figured it out. I used to play this on 6 strings but thought it was a non starter on 3. Bit more polish required but hey, its a great tune either way.

The final proof that chimps CAN learn.  Although clearly not learn to turn light switches on...

nice one mate, I especially liked the "tits" comment right at the end.  I don't remember that in the original, but it adds something to it... although surely it should be 'Sweet Home Aberdeen'?
