This is a great tune. Great guitar too.

@stepanthony I'll have to get some more recent clips of Sam up - he's much better than this these days. This one is over three years old.

This is a great one!! Seems highly inspired by Tommy´s "Train to Düsseldorf" - the chords are almost the same - but GREAT playing!! I like it!

All the best from Germany

@soenke91 I think you're right. i can hear the TE influence in this one, myself. Sam consciously tries to sound different from Tommy these days. There seems to be too many TE clones around. This clip was from 3 years ago, and his playing has developed enormously in that time. Thanks for the kind words.
