I wanted to post a video of my new CBG, but spent all day trying to decide on a song. Late in the day I thought of Trouble in Mind, a song I first heard played by Bob Wills.
By the time I recorded this I had cut my index finger sliding on the top G string. I'm not using this as an excuse, but my playing is a rather curtailed by having to use a different finger to bar the chords.

Joel - I'm not sure you can call flailing my fingers at the strings in no particular pattern a style, but I'll take the compliment. Thank you.

Phillip - As someone who hates the sound of his own voice, I thank you for your kind words, it means a lot and gives me much needed confidence.

Thanks for your comments guys.

John - I think you're right, this song can be interpreted in so many different ways. Maybe that's the strength of a good tune.
