It's time for another Sunday Song. Everyone covers this tune but I haven't seen many do it on a CBG. I had to tune the instrument A-D-G-B to get it to work. I also simplified a couple chords, but I think the arrangement still coveys the original song.

The Weight was originally recorded by The Band.

Love the softer Poorness. And the Harmony dubs are wonderful. You have the right voice for this one.

Comment by Poorness Studios on April 12, 2020 at 10:28am

Thanks Danny. Play it like you hear it I always say. ;-)

Thanks Bob. I'm glad you liked it. It took a bit of arranging to do it on a 4 stringer.

Very good cover Kale.  This might be the best Sunday tune yet.  Shout out to the guys doing the harmony!
