This is an original song called “Times are Hard for Dreamers” that I wrote in 2011, if memory serves. Four-string fretted CBG again.

I like this. Can hear Foo Fighters blasting it in the latter verse.

Much gratitude for the kind words.

This song was originally one of a batch of pop tunes I recorded with a bunch of samples of antique drum machines, bass, clean electric guitars straight into the multitracker with zero effects, and breathy, double-tracked vocals for that pillowy Alan Parsons Project aroma. The resulting sound was quite different from this.

This is a good original Gus - off the beaten CBG path in the best way.

Sounds like it coulda shoulda been a rock hit or at least a good cut on an album.

Dang, you are making me want to do more 4 stringers but I think I'd have to get you to play them as well! Great job!

Great song!

I know I've been posting a lot of "just me playing songs on the 4-string fretted" videos lately. I'm going to try to mix it up a little in the coming weeks.
