Flatpicker Hangout Top 20 Jazz/Blues Songs Flatpicker Hangout Members

This is a fingertsyle piece - not a pick in sight. Sorry. It's my first attempt at arranging a song for solo guitar. That said, I did double track it (with intentional variances between tracks) due to a lack of confidence... The ultimate intent is for a harmonica playing friend of mine to add a harp track to this (once we figure the mechanics of long distance collaboration) but meanwhile I thought I'd post it here. As ever, it's my 30 year Yamaha FG335 with the laminate top and aging strings recorded into the Xmas toy (Tascam DP-004),

And old &#34playin for the kitchen table cut&#34 my husband and I workin up a song to add to our set list

This was a living room jam session I recorded when I lived in Phoenix AZ about 1986-87 with Jim Elam on the other guitar, Gavin Weiser on bass and lead vocal and me on my old Gibson J35. I started out the rhythm and everyone else just slowly joined in after they figured out what I was playing.

I really wanted to play this as a blazing flatpicking instrumental, but I didn&#39t have the speed on it, so I went the completely opposite direction. BLUEGRASS PURIST WARNING: This is played in a Bossa Nova-style on a classical guitar with a harmonica player. NOOOOOOOOO!
