Default "Suitcase Blues" - Triumph - fingerstyle solo guitar

Hi friends of fingerstyle guitar music, this is my instrumental fingerstyle arrangement of "Suitcase Blues" by the hard rock band Triumph, written by the singer Rik Emmett.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRKa68wCf3o

The song was released in 1979. The jazzy feeling of this Blues is far away from their other hard rock music they made. Tired of touring as a rock band, this song tells the story of a musician what he feels after the shows and when the audience is back home.

Hope you like it...

greetings from Germany
Gerhard

Thanks a lot, Derek,
yes, since Triumph is a hard rock band, they use pure jazz chords for that blues.... It´s a great song.
