Thanks slimman! I had fun with it - standard tuning (GDAE), I can see how those double stops in there kind of sound otherwise though! :)

Really nice job. Would you be able to edit your recording of it at your music page to enable those of us for whom it would be helpful to download it?

Thanks heyesdt! I can't edit that once it's already uploaded, but I have the recording saved on my computer as well. My take on this tune was greatly inspired by Jeff Long's recording of it on oldtimejam.com. If you become a member you can download all the MP3's on the site - when used with the Audacity program you can slow down these recordings to help you learn them. VERY valuable tool if you are good at learning by ear. Hope this helped answer your question, it not or if you have more you can always send me a PM too! :)
