Scrap man blues

[menamestom]

Where I live we get loads of guys driving round slowly with speakers on their vans shouting out 'scrap metal, we take your scrap metal'. As the vans go past there are old bikes on them, steel bedframes, radiators, old cables and boilers etc. This song is an instrumental based on the rattle and crash that the scrap man's van makes. I recorded it in a tiled bathroom to give it more of a scratchy blues feel since I was using a nylon strung guitar.

Thanks. It's fun to play as well, if it isn't fun, what's the point!

Hi, thanks mahoriver. Yes it's an Alhambra classical. I would normally play it on a steel string but had sore fingers that day. Cut my nails short over Christmas and had blisters as a result. More of a challenge on classical though, especially with the action on this guitar!
