In the Pines(Reprised)-Leadbelly cover-Harp, Guitar & Vocals

I did a cover of this Leadbelly tune way back, before I had ever even picked up a guitar.
Cobain did an incredible cover of it on MTV unplugged that I urge everyone to check out(R.I.P. Kurt.)

I decided to come back to it and try fleshing the tune out with a basic backing track(slide intro and bassline)
and then play lead over it with harp and vocals tossed in. Incidentally, one of my bluescats threw in some backup vocals.

The song was performed in key of G.
Guitar is tuned GBDGBD and harp is key of C special 20. Before anyone asks, I did it by ear.
I have ZERO tabs to share.

(I've tried the neck rack thing but I do hand effects like wah-wah that a neck rack doesn't permit, and my multitasking sucks, so I've just intermittently sang, played lead and grabbed a harp.)

Hopefully y'all think it came off reasonably well.

Cheers!
