Smile The strummer that learned Last Steam Engine Train

Heya all,

So a couple of months back I posted on the main board about how I finally challenged my self to step out of the strumming realm and learn a song I've always wanted to try but never thought I'd be able to learn. It was really really rough going at first but I kept at it but I kept at it. The song is Last Steam Engine Train (Tony Polecastro's version)

Well someone in the thread mentioned that I should record a sample and I finally decided to do so (after kind of slacking on my practicing of the song).

So here it is... It's really not perfect (both my playing and the recording) and I kind of rushed it. But I thought I'd share it anyway. Which is something I never do.

Great playing man, your idea of perfect is going to be pretty special!

Very nicely done. Which guitar did you use for the recording? It sounds wonderful.

Good work! You'll always have that song now.

Thanks for the comments guys. I hold the members here in high esteem so your comments are appreciated =)

Plai, I used the 000-15m for this recording without much thought as to which to use. It was a spur of the moment inspiration to rec and share and I had to seize moment before reconsideration might kick in. Glad I did!
