happy birthday----acoustic blues

I woke up thismorning and was inspired to record a quick take of Happy Birthday to send to an old friend, and ended up with a blues tinged/fingerstyle version.....an on the fly,impromptu creation, recorded between breakfast and heading out to work. The simple arrangement floated around in my head while I worked, and by the time I got home; I was comitted to the idea of adding a slide track......some open slide would just set that finger-picking off like ice-cream beside pie.......hope you enjoy the snack.....Wetshooz.( just a couple pictures I took the other morning to look at while you have a listen)

Any chance for a tab or a video of you playing the piece? It's wonderful but there are some subtleties I'm having trouble working out.

[willywetshooz]

@heironymousmortek well the slide part is in open G tuning.....and the finger picking part is in standard tuning.....alas it was a one time improvisation/inspiration....s­o I unfortunately have no TAB to pass on for others. cheers

With what did you record this ? what program i mean:D

[willywetshooz]

@Punkerstyle9  I recorded this with SONAR 6 software and a Samson C01U condenser microphone.....2 tracks...and a bit of reverb on the slide guitar channel.....et voila! thanks for listening.

Hey Willy,

That is an earthshakin, slippery downslidin, cavernous insight-out birthday guitar bauble! You is a big blues magician!

Cheers from Hubbery

@willywetshooz Ah! That explains the trouble--two guitars in two different tunings! I was thinking it was a solo piece played in one sitting! It's great! Thanks for the info! :)
