Pretty much a mix of Long Tall Mama, Shuffle Rag and whatever else I threw at it.

sounds like big bill broonzy tune

I used to have one of these little Kalamazoo's - just like yours. Bought it in a pawn shop for fifty bucks. Thought I was really clever a little while later when I sold it for $500. I imagine they're worth a lot more now. I have way toooo many of those type of stories.

Cheers from Downunder,

Gary

@number1guitarplayer

Gary... yeah, well as you probably can guess they're worth a bit more these days. Lots of fun to play for sure.

@Vintagelicks

it sure has a good home now VL. Thanks for the comment.

You're right - I've almost got the first verse - very slowly, of course! But it's great fun learning it. I just love those single string licks!

[bigaggiesman]

Great tune and great performance. Got your lesson and I'm trying to learn it but those "F" chords are finger stretching and I've only got little hands! (that's my excuse).

[tobywalker123]

@bigaggiesman

Keep working at it buddy. Believe me... I have real small fingers as well. Just takes some time but you'll get it.

Toby, it sounds like Big Bill, but as You say, its The New Shuffle Rag !

5 up and Peace !

@kickingmule

Thanks Urban. I've tried to keep the flavor of Big Bill while adding in some of my own ideas. Hopefully it will inspire others to do the same.

[Blukenator]

One of my favorite Big Bill tunes. I just watched you play it three times. Superb!

[daddystovepipe]

Great picking with vintage sound!

[demtun]
