Guitars & Beer
Haven't got around to recording yet, cos I can't sing...lol
But its a real fast song, and the chords are picked rather than
strummed...kinda like a lead/rhythm hybrid type thing... ;o)
I've added a soundbyte of how the picking will sound for the verse and
chorus, and I've put an intro on too...
I'm hearing the melody as kinda like Working Man's Blues...
